Default 01 1.8T

First post guys. just picked up a 2001 A4 1.8T.(Tiptronic) i am very new to Audi's as i have owned only Trans-am's. i recently totalled my '00 WS6 but the Audi is a complete upgrade for me. i love the car. i had a few questions and i have done a little searching, but alot of the results dont make sense to me.
-what are some beginning mods i can do for cheap?
-I also have the xenon/HID lights stock(i diddnt know this was an option on the 1.8?)
car has 50k on it. i picked it up for 13,000
Melange color
any was i can increase boost cheaply and safely?
thanks guys,
Nick

best way to raise the boost is to chip it

13,000 for an 01 with 50k on it is a good deal!

On my '02 the headlight washers operate when you use the windshield washer with the headlights on. I assume it's the same on the '01.
