Ok, I finally pulled the trigger on a new A4 1.8T Avant with Tiptronic shifting and the factory sports package. The question is, where do I start with my modifications? I expect to put in between $5,000 and $7,000 in upgrades. Listed below is a beginning list of what I want to change:

- Chip upgrade
- Exhaust
- Brakes
- Wheels
- Tires
- Cam
- Supercharge vs. Turbo upgrade

What else should I be considering and what products should I research? I am sure that this is a VERY subjective question, but your input will greatly help me. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Naive question: Won't performance mods void the warranty? If so, is it really worth it? YOU KNOW that if something goes wrong, they'll blame it on the mods!
