Hey new girl! Welcome!
I want to encourage your enthusiasm so I hope this helps you on your way...
There are dozens of mods one can do but they are all categorized by money (free, little money, lotta money, lottery money...) so tell us what section you're in.
I've found it also helps to show what is important to you. Some focus on motor, suspension, tires & wheels...whatever.
Best wishes in your search!

I have a A4 with the LS1 lid and i forgot what they call my filter but its a good one. keep in mind in still learnin. my mileage is about 88 thousand but its my daily so i put more on each day. pics will come soon.
first, welcome to the site!
as far as mods go, just start small, get a lid (intake) and something like a hooker catback exhaust. keep the car tuned up and oil changed, preferably with german castrol 0w30. alot of people on here say to use ngk plugs but i'm not a fan. i prefer acdelco iridium plugs.
when it's all tuned up, get the exhaust and the lid put on, then come back and we'll help you out with more advanced stuff. like 954mula said, it's all about how much money you have and are willing to spend on the car.
if you can take a picture of the engine and post it.

i wouldnt run a k&n filter since they require oil, it has a tendency to mess with your mass air flow sensor. just run a good paper filter and make sure to change it every 8-10k miles or so.
hooker catback. they are fairly cheap, around 300 bucks, and flow well. those catbacks can support close to 500rwhp. i have a borla, which is fairly expensive, around 800 bucks. it's adjustable though, so i can tune it to what sound i want. with it closed it sounds good, isnt loud, just a nice rumble. open it screams, and sometimes doesnt sound too good lol.
