is it a 20 v turbo mate, you posted 1.8 20v?
if a turbo, stage 1 map goes to around 215 bhp
add a dp and sport cat and stage 2 map then your looking at 225
edit, seen 1.8t now

handling first
decent spring and damper setup £200+
ths dogbone mount £50
rear arb whiteline £135
new top mounts £30
tt wishbone bushes £20
ths engine mounts £100+
4 wheel alignment after £50
power
forge 007p
fmic £200 upwards
high flow downpipe and sports cat £450
silicon t.i.p £80 ths
induction kit or panel filter £30-£100
replace as many chocolate textured oem pipes in the bay as possible with silicone....
then stage 2 map strait after all this £300
after that id go braking with a custom 911 carrera porsche setup circa £500
then lsd £1000
once youve spent all your cash on these then maybe look at fabia wipers and little mods, hids etc etc
good luck and happy saving

easy mate, but as ive posted above id save and do the bigger mods first then the little ones tbh.
search for n249 bypass.
depends on what you want, but bay stuff usually not so good and that be nearly your suspension setup.
yea so ill put on some coil overs then do the dv an the air filter which seem to be a bit cheaper then save at the same time for the big 1's
can i jusk ask, why do you want coil covers.... and have you a link to them?
what would you like to achive from your car mate?
lol im blind today.... coilovers.... though it said coil covers!!!! tail.
id stay away form coilovers for a normal street cat tbh mate, especially the budget ones from ebay.
what id do is do the other handling mods forst and see if you really need to lower the car

I'd also add upper and lower front strut braces to Jamie Walker's list of handling mods - and replacing the 'pancake' pipe that you have in the LC too.
Edit: Can't go wrong with some good tyres too!

It's the PCR Pipe from this page: http://www.thsperformance.co.uk/category/Silicone
Not the first thing I'd change - just one worth changing when/if you change your TIP

yea i mite invest in that 1 by the way where is the intercooler located is it in the driver side wing??
yup, wouldnt really go for that mod just yet mate, not a real noticeable one that.
much better saving cash and getting a fmic.
youd be better deciding a route to go down with your car then get them mods done first, to see most gains

You can get those pancake pipe replacements along with the other pipe that goes to the inlet manifold for about £25 from Ebay US, even with postage there under £50 for both
I just looked there only $25 not £25 so even cheaper

I not sure about gains but they certainly help flow, not sure about TDI intercooler as I never seen that layout.
As James said tho propr gains come from FMIC kits.
