I just picked up a full stock 8th gen coupe 5spd and want to know where the best place to start to add some more power.

The R18 has integral exhaust in the head. Limits what performance mods will produce. That being said a good turbo ( not eBay crap) will likely yield the best performance. The cost of a good turbo I’d be hard pressed to put that against a R18. A K20 would be a better start but lots of necessary changes.
