Default Looking at GIAC X Chip? What mods should accompany?

I figure I should definately get a K&N Air Filter. What else?

Default Agreed. Nobody has proven that it does anything in this car. Spend your money elsewhere.

Or, if you're concerned about your air filter, just get a new OEM one, but make sure that you install it properly. If there's not a good seal, crap could get in there and destroy your turbos.

Default Really?

Do yourself a favor, and spend some time doing homework before you do ANYTHING to your car.

Default if installed/maintained properly, there is no problem.

now if you go and coat it in oil, and then install it right away, then you may have problems.

Read the instructions!
