DE getting into mods. what should i add first

I have a 04 8 with 12,000 miles on it. I want to add an exhaust, intake, and coilovers but what should i do first. Just looking for insight from the experienced. this car will eventually be turbo charged and have a 3 rotor engine swap.

Oh and I'll add that Intakes really are a waste of time and an exhaust will add little HP but will give you that noise you want

WCS, the last link is broken

While you're doing mods, the Axial flow short shifter is good if you have a manual

Start adding real gauges if you're going to do some engine mods.
