RE: first upgrade
If it has a turbo, and a blow off Valve then find out how good the blow off valve is. If it doesnt have a blow off valve, then get one and make sure it's loud. Not only does that increase your bhp but it also sounds really cool when it is loud.

get a boost controller, and turn the boost up.

Now lets not get all boost happy. If you crank up the boost on a stock fuel system the motor sees a lean mixture(more air than gas) which makes it run hotter. Lean air/fuel ratio + detonation, which is a blown motor. So as far as upgrades, to make anything fast your job is to move air as fast as possible. If I were you, I'd leave the boost alone for now and do a K&n cone filter, tb, colder plugs, wires->anyhting but msd, cayt back exaust,high flow cayt/test pipe, bov(rfl's sound cool). Thats an easy G right there, after all of that if you still not satied then think about getting an fmic, boost conrtoler, dsm link/safc, injectors,fuel filter, fuel pump, maybe a bigger turbo, heder, dp.

All right whoever posted the "get a big BOV that's loud cuz it sounds cool" needs to do a bit more research. Any BOV can be loud if installed with the intake return line off. BUT this robs you of HP and causes unecessary wear and tear on the engine itself. If you want to SOUND cool for a while go ahead and do that but it's REALLY not going to help you much. I'd recommend a boost controller, or start with possibly a higher capacity fuel pump and injectors to prime you for a bigger turbo.
