OK, only a question that's been asked less than 1.000.000.000,000 times

Anyway, first the free things: TID mod, gutted precat, gutted main cat.

Secondly, the cheap things: cone intake, downpipe, free flowing mufflers, manual boost controller.

More expensive things: catback, turboback, electronic boost controller.

Very expensive things : upgraded turbo, upgraded wastegate, stand-alone ECU, porting.

Hope this helps

Rule of thumb -

- No more than 10psi on the stock intercooler, no more than 12psi on the stock turbo.
- You will need upgraded fuel to safely run 10psi.
- 10psi will bust you into the 200hp to the wheels territory. About 250-270 to the ground is the max on the stock turbo.l
