Small gains for cheap recommendations?

Have had my mini for 3 months now love it! It's supercharged and all is fun and dandy just curious if you guys have good info in a bit more bang for a little less buck whats your thoughts on intakes? 15% pulleys? Easy to install? Things of that nature I've read a lot and searched but haven't seen good cheap gains stickers are always the easiest HP gain!

A intake is mostly sound...but easy to install, It will make the car feel FASTER since you will hear the SC spool up more!!
The pulley....install is not so easy, but doable, but best gain for the $$.
A rear SWAY-BAR will make the car more fun to drive on twity roads!!
Remember, it is not all about HP....
The MINI excels in the turns...make it turn better and it gets more fun!!
That about covers the 3 most popular mods...you pick the order!! But all provide great bang for the $$
An intake-sound
A pulley-HP
A Swaybar-more fun in turns!!
