are u gonna upgrade the turbo
if not i dont think you should get a FMIC yet
and the cold air intakes arent that great they just suck in hot engine bay air

theres alot of parts for the lil 1.8t
maybe you should start off wit a performace chip and upgrade the DV
look in to giac and apr

There's not much in the way of cold air for this car since Audi did a good job on the intake to begin with. You might want to hold off on a FMIC until you are running a larger turbo setup. Anything larger than the stock intercooler would probably rob you of power. I'm no expert on this though, I'm just regurgitating what others have said.

The most common first performance mods are a chip (REVO, APR, GIAC) and cat back exhaust.
