modification questions

[Btesta89]

i just got a black automatic w/paddle shiffters 2.0t coupe about 3 months ago and i love the car but would really like to modify it with new exhaust cold air intake bov chip and etc etc...i never modified a car before is there certain steps that you have to do? do you put the cold air intake before you install the exhaust? also if i do all this work and put all this $$$ in i want to make sure it will last bc i know that warranty wont cover it with after market parts and if the engine gets blowned it would be a a lot of money to fix. plzz if ne one could help a newbe out

Intake first step then blow off valve (bov) then exhaust

I have a 3.8, but all my friends with 2.0's go BOV last as the CAI and exhaust usually boost the horspower; so if you put the BOV on before getting the CAI or exhaust, you may blow off your BOV, lol. That's just what they've told me...
