Default what other bolt-ons can I do?

ok I have some bolt-ons, I want more suggestions as to what to do for simple boltons that will maybe squeeze out some more gains. I'm not really wanting to do a FTRA just because people I know have had some "issues" with that sucking foreign "objects" into their motor. Here is what I have so far: (its a 2002 z28 by the way A4 [stall is out of the picture btw])

Lid, FRA, powershot filter, MAC headers w/gutted cats, catback exhaust, Tbyrne ported MAF ends, Cutout (capped usually).

For any mods you suggest please list any cons or side effects (eg. I heard rumors about pulleys weakening your A/C etc but I'm not sure if this is true) Thanks for the input.

out of the picture or not, a converter is the single best performance enhancement you can do to a A4.

as for a bolt on, I'd say ported TB, but if I were you, I'd save my money for the TC.

Another option is some LT headers.
