If you really wanna have fun with your 997TT - bring it up to its hometown and spend some days on the autobahn. Believe me, after that you´ll see you car with different eyes 
Stick a picture of that trip to your dash and you will smile every day while driving your car - you will be highly pleased, much more than with wheels, tips, ....
I will show you some very nice roads - for free
But hurry up - our governance argue over a speedlimit every year, so the dream will be away one day, for shure....

Checkout the stage tuning kits. One example is the Evolution motorsports website. Here is what i would do;
First step : EVT S2 580 (Stage 2)
*ECU and exhaust with high flow catalysts.
Second step : Techart lowering springs
*Lowers the car 20mm, improves handling & appearance.
Third step : ClubSport Intercoolers
*Maximum heat dissipation
Fourth step : LightWheels
*better handling, less reciprocating mass
ie; Champion, Fikse, BBS, HRE, Dymag etc.
Fifth step : Depends on where you want to go next!!
P.S. Does your car have a manual or tiptronic transmission. A clutch kit is needed for better power delivery on a manual equipped car.

Absolutely. Chip + exhaust really unleashes the engine...a lot less lag, significantly more huumph...

Rep Power: 333 A good starting point could be a FVD Ecu/muffler, Evoms headers.

Save the $10k and participate in the World Series of Poker 2008 Main event. You may come back home with 10 million dollars! J/K
With $10k i'd go for Exhaust and a set of HREs.

I'd do Bilstein coilovers, a set of lightweight wheels (HRE C21 or something similar), and an ECU upgrade. That balances the handling and power upgrades a bit.
