Default First performance mods to car? Help

Hey guys I have had my Audi for about a year now and I was wondering what performance Mods I should install. I want something with noticable power for the money but also I dont want to really hurt they car or shorten its life. Please let me know what you guys did or what you would recomend. I didn't want to spend 10,000 dollars but I do want something that is of a good value to the amount of power and quality it adds. Thanks in advance.

Regardless get this first on the TT...Abt springs and Bilstein shocks (for performance and comfort) or Bilstein or Stasis Coilovers (for extreme performance: will be too harsh a spring rate for some urban road enviroments with large 19" wheels and 30 or 35%profile) . ..Then get the jetex exhaust (low cost super high quality, and sounds quiet inside and like the hounds from hell from the rear...only one issue I'd wished they would put tangs on the hangers...but thats minor...5/16x2" self tapping washers headed screws fix that).....and an Abt chip....

Default I followed the advice I got: get the chip first--

I drove in after work last week, left 45 min. later with a new GIAC chip, and an instant giant leap forward in hp, torque, boost, &c. Just $50 extra for a stock chip for those trip to the dealer-- the whole pkg. not much more than $500.

chip is second in bang for the buck...

...to suspension...suspension is everything and HP rides on top of that....

I learned that early '1979 in a V8 vega...what difference does it make that you have a hellean of a 'white pitbull hangin out the window' if you can't tame him first?

Default Exhaust or suspension depending on whether you want more power or control.

Chip should be after exhaust.
