well, what it comes down to is how much you want to spend.
intake doesn't give mcuh hp on our cars so don't waste your time starting with that.
when you chip your car I would use GIAC or APR, best gains seen on our cars. make sure to buy a new dv when you chip your car. your stock one will hold the bigger boost for awhile but you'll eventually need to replace it. the most reliable dv would probably be the forge 007. chip and dv can be installed under $600.
With exhaust, it all depends on what your future plans are, if you are going to get a big turbo setup, then i would go 3" , if not then go 2.5" . techtonics and borla are what most do unless they go custom. Turbo-back exhaust is anywhere from $700-1200.

okay thank you very much, that helped out a lot i think i will go with the giac and dv first...and if you know, will that change the psi of my turbo to more pounds, or will the boost stay the same? thanks...

Damn, you're a cutie. So I guess we're all going to be more inclined to help you out with the modding advice.
Do what A4speed said; except if you get a cat-back exhaust watch the diameter; the stock air intake is kind of weak relative to the exhaust, so you might lose some torque because the intake isn't as great as the exhaust. Here's what you should do in order, give or take some importance:
- Chip / DV (within a close timeframe; otherwise your stock, palstic DV will give out)
Chip: APR or GIAC
DV: 710N / R1 / Forge 007 for a legit DV, or if you want a BOV-type noise, look up the forge splitter
- Intake/exhaust (I'd hit the intake first)
Intake: www.evoms.com
Exhaust: Up to you. Milltek is known to sound really clean and deep, and Borla's are a bit louder and fluctuate a little more. APR is damn good too.
