if you are on stock shocks.... consider bilsteins or other. for me... it was night and day replacing 90k miles on stock shocks.
low 13's is fast. prob a bit more than a standard chip, intake, exhaust.
as far as the performance upgrades... i wanted <13.3 to beat a certain m3. check out this post: http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32553
i have not thrown down for the tranny yet, but i think that's what it's going to take. good luck, keep us posted.

Not that I have one, but all the mod crazy guys say get a good tranny. Do it once GOOD, or you'll end up doing it twice $$$. I have had fun with a bunch of maintenance upgrades. Second oil & fuel flter. A coolant filter, shocks those kinds of things. Oh yeah you could also "swis s cheese" (except spell it right you know) your airbox easily. Drill a bunch 3/4" holes or so all over your box. You could even sawzall some off. Search for "swis s cheese" but don't put a space between the s.

You will need a good tranny if you want to do that more than a couple times.. low 13 will be much easier with a built tranny, plus it will be cheaper if you start there...
