Welcome.
The biggest question really is how much money you have to spend and how fast you want to go!
Best place to start is probably with a good quality induction kit. A lot of people here, including myself use the BMC one. Debateable how much extra power it gives, if any, but it does improve responsiveness with a decent cold air feed, and sounds fantastic.
After that you're next stop might want to be a less restrictive exhaust system, of which the options are endless, and I'm sure others here will be able to help you in the right direction.
Aside from performance stuff, lowering is probably a good thing to have top of your list. Improves looks, handling and theres a good number of low priced options that are avaliable.
The possibilities are endless really. Have a look in the Members Rides section as that shows just what can be done with the GTi.
