Default need help on next mod.

hey guys. Im looking at spending about 1.6k-2k on an engine mod. Im trying to work out which would be the best gain for me so any help would be appreciated. Im looking at either an ecu or fmic and cold air intake.
In that price range what sorta ecu would i be able to get.
Was told i might be able to squeeze a link system. Are they a piggyback or replacement.
Or would goin fmic and cold air intake be better option for now.
not looking for an 12 sec car or nothing just a bit more fun.

"not looking for an 12 sec car or nothing just a bit more fun"
then the piggy back would probably be the option for you.

is the car stock?

your car will run worse with fmic and cai without computer. so definately go ecu.
now you can spend countless hours desiding which one to get like we all have
