Not a whole lot compared to the 1.8t. In no specific order:

1: Projector headlights/HID's
2: Exhaust
3: ECU Flash
4: PES Supercharger
5: Big Brake Kit
6: Suspension

Search on this and other forums. These topics are covered in just about every one

Manual or automatic? If manual you can get add snub mount, short shifter and change tranny fluid to Redline MTL or similar.

Big brake kit
Springs and shocks or coilovers
Sway bars

Then drive it and enjoy it.

Assuming your not doing any autocross events or track days..

I think the easiest and most rewarding upgrade would be the headlights. Look and perform unbelievably better than stock, plus they are just plain safer due to the increase in output.

I saw a huge difference in performance when I upgraded my wheels and tires. I am running 255/40 r17 Yokohama S rated tires and the response they give me when driving vs stock is insane. The fun of traction in every corner never wears off!
