So exhaust and CAI ; why not do a rebuild on the engine instead? Beef up the bottom end, slap on a turbo. The CAI is only good for 5hp at the crank. The exhaust isn't much either.

Say both give you 10hp(total) to the crank, 20hp together. After the friction, heat, and general lose, you only receive say, 5hp at the wheels. Not worth it truthfully.
Though the mileage is high it's a Volkswagen and they tend to hold their value very well. Id say do some suspension work to it first.
