Biggest bang for the buck is a stage 1 chip. You should upgrade the diverter valves (DVs) and throttle body boot (TBB) at the same time. Lots of chip choices out there. It will add 60+ hp and remove the governor. Replacing the front cats with larger downpipes will improve exhaust flow and the turbos will run cooler, but you could end up with cat CELs.
If you decide to chip and have a tip tranny, beware. You could overwhelm the torque converter and that becomes a very expensive repair. If it is a MT6, you could find yourself in the market for a new clutch - it happened to me 10k miles after chipping. Keep in mind you are dealing with a 10+ year old vehicle and if you raise hp by 25%, you may start breaking expensive driveline parts.
