What modifications?
56OctyVRS:
Id scrap the green stuff pads and go for a different pad choice. Prob ferodo or pagid and you dont need grooved discs. The normal discs are more than enough for a road car. That way you can spend more on other bits.
I am stage 2+ and still using the oe engine cover rather than an intake. Id would only use an intake if i was making a track day car as it shifts the power higher up the rev range and loses low down torque. My car is actually quicker on the roads now than when i had my intake as have that low end torque to help on twisty country roads.
Engine mounts are good as they stop wheel hop and also help transmit the power to the road easier. You may also want to include an uprated hpfp. That would be more beneficial than an intake and about the same price.

id remove the braided hoses, green stuff pads and definitely the grooved discs.
You'll get no notable performance gain from those discs other than they will go through your pads quicker. I personally wouldnt use EBC pads on my car. Mintex, Ferrodo and pagid are good options
You really want to consider a rear anti roll bar, they have one of the biggest handling improvements of all the mods you can do.
VWPalmer:
Ok cheers for the advice all very helpful as I've never modified a car in the way of performance before so I'm still learning :signLOL:

Roll bars are a must..it will transform the car mate
MC71:
Would def get some handling mods! Either WALK (Whiteline Anti Lift Kit) or SuperPro anti lift kit, SuperPro lower engine mount (for the price, v good), H&R springs, an Autotech Rear Anti Roll Bar and as the others have said, brakes. Check out the thread on NSQBBK, for the money they can't be beaten.
For your money, stage 1 map, loads to choose from.
If you have a manual and you add lots of power (torque), a upgraded clutch will be needed.
