Welcome to the forum

Always a good sign when you are looking at performance upgrades soon after purchase

Only issue with engine performance upgrades is they are never enough, whatever you have now is not enough and once at stage 1 it won’t be enough and so on. As long as the car is smooth running it will be a task just to keep it at that as these cars do come up with some issues now and then (like most cars)

The basic air filter and exhaust back box should be ok to start with but you will still have other breathing restrictions elsewhere so unless you are changing the whole exhaust system it’s more noise than gain

If you want engine management upgrades you need to make sure you can obtain the correct higher grade fuel where you are and that you don’t go too silly as there is a comfortable level of NM of torque that these auto gearboxes can handle, not great considering they are supposed to made by Porsche I’m sure I’ve read on here?

There was a handy tuning guide on here by RCZ performance but can’t find it, I believe they had a Facebook one as well but as I’m not on there I can’t help
