What modifications?
VWPalmer:
Not sure if this is the right section so sorry if it is.
I'm picking up my Gti on friday and I'm looking to get it to 300BHP before spring then I will start making it look a little nicer than standard for show season.
I should have around £2000 to spend but I am not entirely sure on what I should buy. I should be getting an EVOMS intake for christmas :grin: then i was thinking about a non res sports cat turbo back miltek exhaust and a stage 2 remap. But I think I should have a little money left after those so what do you's think would be best to spend the money on if you like do a shopping list for the full £2k as i dont know if i have chosen the correct things in the first place :signLOL:
All your advice is greatly appreciated

Had a feeling someone would say search but I was more looking for a kind of which order to do things kind of advice as I have already looked through many threads and articles to help me decide some of the parts I want, just not sure which order i should get them in. I have good tyres on already, I was thinking of an ALK. Also which stoppers would you recommend? I had looked at the cupra r upgrade but it seems quite expensive for essentially some bigger disks and new pads (http://www.awesomegti.com/car/vw/golfmk5/345mm-cupra-oem-brake-upgrade)

Firstly do you have an Ed30 or a 200Hp GTI?.
An ed30 will remap to 280-300hp for only £500 and the cost of an intake, however, a GTI(200ps) on the other hand will not get anywhere near 300hp without considerable outlay. Stage 2 GTI with a TBE and intake will net approx 260hp. add a fuel pump, intercooler and stage 2+ and you'll be nearer to 280hp. Beyond that, you need to upgrade the turbo.
My 2 grand would go:
R32 brakes £400-500
Rear Anti roll bar £150
Lower engine mount £150
200 cell downpipe £500
Intake £300
Stage 2 remap £500
if your purely after power for the minute
for 2 grand i would go
Stage 2 + remap £600
200 cell Downpipe £500
Intake £250
S3 Intercooler £400
£fuel pump £300
