Guilty as charged.
I COULD use my moderator powers to split this into two different threads so as to hide my transgression.
But, in the interest of fair play, I shall let this blunder stand as a testament to my indiscretion.

What is the world coming to?

here's the order i'd go in:

intake (mac)
exhaust (your choice)
e-fans (custom, don't buy kit)
gears and t-lock (any gears, FMS t-lock is cheap on ebay, used)
headers (mac, jba are $$$)
chip/tuner (diablosport or SCT are the best i've heard)

have fun
