Add a new uprated clutch to the list (if your cars a manual) as it may be needed. An organic Sachs or Helix and probably a new DMF or a SMF too. Reckon on £1k plus if needed.

Ok thanks. Didn't realise a 100 cell wouldn't pass an mot. :happy2:

Thanks a lot. So by the looks of it the best bang for my buck would be to change the turbo and down pipe for about a grand then get a custom map? I'm assuming my turbo is a K03 and hasn't already been upgraded by a previous owner.

Best bang for buck would be just the K04 Turbo with a custom map whilst retaining the stock intake, stock exhaust and stock intercooler. In essence you will have turned your GTI into a stage 1 Ed30/Cupra(280-300Hp). Then at a later date when you have the funds or when you decide you want more power you can begin to add the performance exhausts, intakes and intercoolers etc to gain some more ponies.

Ok nice one. Where's the best place to get a k04 from?

Try the likes of Statllers, AKS tuning and other companies. they sometimes have them lieing around the garage, alternatively, look on ebay or buy new.
Hurdy might have his for sale since he has fitted the new LOBA unit.
