Default upgrades? what to do first...

2008 A3 2.0T

been looking for a new car, but really can't find one i like more than my current A3, so now i'm thinking i should just upgrade it. i've got 191k on the clock, and just installed a new OE clutch.
any opinions on what to upgrade first? best bang for the buck?

suspension?
intake?
exhaust?
tune?
