I've trawled YT for ideas however thought I'd ask you all on your thoughts of initial upgrade setups you may have done and what have you found good or bad as a result? I've got a simple K&N panel filter not yet installed however is it worth going down the route of K&N, AEM, NM Engineering air induction first?
What others are considered initial upgrade stages, e.g. larger intercooler and tubing etc.

Intakes and exhaust are the traditional 'first upgrades' but they have a pretty high $$ / hp cost. The power module produces a much more noticeable difference for the $$ spent.
