This is basically asked in the title.....what are some cheap mods that should be done before anything else...like simplistic things besides CAI and stuff like that....i'll admit it i know jack about cars so any help is appreciated!
 
well basic bolt-ons would include pulley, throttle body, chip, intake, exhaust, cams and cam gears. those would be a good start decent power gains but it is all in what you are going for na or boosted.
 
My car:

Used FS Coolflo + SVT snorkel : $50
Used AFX UDP : $50
Used Ported TB: $50
Used SCT chip: $100
New 2k manifold: $121
New Magnaflow exhaust: $260

Dirt cheap, 127whp, 135wtq.

Used parts kick ass.

+suspension to desired effect... but you might reconsider used on that stuff.

The dealership.... I'm still not sure how well it worked (unported), but at the time it was a legal H Stock mod for my model year, so I did it. Runs pretty well, it's my autocross/track day toy.
 
Wow I'd love to find a Focus Sport Cool Flo for 50 bucks :(

sometimes you can find headers pretty cheap in the for sale section.... usually around 150-200 for long tube headers that delete the cat.
