first mods? recommendations.
My car already came with some goodies (mostly suspension), so now I'm wondering on what to go for next. Budget ain't that big, so I'm thinking small upgrades.
So far I was thinking of hood dampers,kb short shifter + bushings, rear/front lips, lights, interior, cobb ap ver1...still a noob here so i'm not exactly knowledgeable as to what I should do under the hood...
Any tips/advice? What I should go for first? Thanks

Get a Catback, then get a downpipe to make it a turboback. Then to really open up tourque on the 2.0 get a catless uppipe. This will make your TD04 spool up quick. With the full turboback plus uppipe you will need an Accessport with the Stage 2 map. That should be the start...... was for me
catback- Anywhere from 200-700
Downpipe- Anywhere from 50-350
uppipe-Anywhere from 100-250?
AP v1- 250 - 350 range
Prices on the piping im not to sure of, its been so long since i was in the market. Hope this helps.

Lool thanks for the warning xD yeah I was lookin' at the stage 2 package, the apv2 + turboback exhaust...but the price is waaay to high lol. But if I do get an ap ill make sure to get ver.2. Yeah I'm leaning on the kb short shifter, its cheap and have heard nothing but good things about it...ahaha.

Id say first mod is to get a tune. Then learn bout your engine and then how to control your AWD beast. Modify your driving habits from wether it be coming from a FWD, RWD, MWD.

If I were to do it all over again I would have done minimal engine mods ( stage 2 with some miscellaneous things like heat wrap ) and spent more time on suspension. Getting a good suspension setup makes our cars drive much differently, and better IMO.
