Welcome to the forums. Nice choice in cars.

Anyways, as far as first mods go, you've already got a good start. Next I'd tell you to look into ECU upgrades.

With this decision comes some questions that you need to ask yourself though.

1. Do you want to tune yourself? Are you comfortable with tuning the car?
2. Can you afford dyno time on top of the initial purchase price of the said EM?
3. Do you plan on modding after the purchase of the said EM?

If you don't really plan on modding much more after you get EM, I'd tell you to look into an ECU reflash type of EM. Something like ECUTek is nice and not very pricey.

If you're the type to go crazy and want to mod/tune that bad boy for all that it's worth, go with either the UTEC or the Cobb AP with the Streetuner upgrade.

One final note. If you're asking about EM, then you're not ready for a standalone. Here's a good thing to read concerning Engine Management.
