Cheap first engine upgrade

I just bought my 2003 OZ lancer, and was wondering whats a good cheap first engine upgrade? Something that gives a decent amount of HP over stock. I was thinking cold air intake, but im not to sure... I had a pos 91 camery before this, so i wasnt really into cars and dont know a ton. Suggestions please
thanks

the highest hp gain should come from a header for your price range. of course, a cold air intake would work too, it's cheaper. but don't expect to have 20 hp increase

CAI and header along with test pipe, axle back exhaust and throttle body will yield around 18-20 horse power.
