PSE and X51 engine
But if you're on a budget: SSK, Wheel spacers or gauge trim rings

Anyone here tried the FVD software upgrades (Fastload)? Most threads I can find about it seem pretty positive but that could just be people justifying their purchase.
I've always thought that as long as you tuned the software along with intake and exhaust you could get at least 10-15 hp out of it.
I hear people say there isn't much if any power gain but seeing all the the claims makes it almost irresistible.

you would seriously get more out of your car with a few track days with an instructor than any flash or 10-20...or 50 HP

#1 gift would surely be a track day.
Seing you are in Canada... and the tracks may be done for the season consider:
fake aluminum gas cap $
Porsche crest valve stem caps - cheap
Porsche crest center caps $
Carbon shift **** $$

The two best bang for your buck upgrades are:
1. PSE hack
2. short shift
You haven't said how much is your gift budget.

Fister D sport mufflers are a wonderful upgrade, but not entirely practical as a gift...
