I would also suggest upgrading rear engine mount, shifter to a TWM short shifter, and to the solid shifter busings.

I'm just starting out also. I chose to go with the Cobb SRI, Cobb TIP, CPE Rear Engine Mount, and Shark Fin antenna. In a couple of weeks I'll probably be picking up a SLS Test Pipe.

I think if I were you, I would hold off on the Cobb AP. I don't know that you would be able to take advantage of many of the benefits you would be paying for without opening up some of the manufacturer-embedded restrictions within the car itself. That's the reason I held off on it.

agreed. TIP,SRI/CAI, BPV/BOV, TP, and some engine mounts

corksport sells a full intake. tip and sri in one! get that. then like the other members stated, get rear engine mount, then twm shifter. i wouldnt get the cobb ap if you plan on goin wit a bunch of mods. but thats just me. afta that i would say boost gauge and then cat-back exhaust. these are good starting mods in my prespective.

Yes, you can reflash back to stock whenever you want. However, that wasn't the point of my post. I posted saying that he would not be able to fully take advantage of a Cobb AP at this point and should focus that $700 in a handful of other mods instead.
