Heh and fingers crossed on the lot still having the car tomorrow.
Without a doubt, chipping it is the biggest hit you will get. You cant even raise the boost on these cars without one because the ECU monitors boost pressure and will go into limp mode if it feels its making too much boost. So first a chip, then an exhaust. Then an intercooler, then a turbo upgrade is a pretty standard order of mods.
