Start with a remap and air filter.the difference is amazing.

cool man thanks how much about for the re map ? and filter ?
i live in liverpool and was thinking of going to the vw show do you think they will have seats on show as well ?
and parts and so on ?

Dervs do not need dump valves. Better spend your hard earned cash elsewhere. This modding lark is fun but also $$$ but it depends on how far you want to go. But if you are happy with just a panel filter and a remap expect to pay in the region of £350.
If you are planning to go further the list of things to do (and in order) are

1. Panel Filter
2. Brakes (the 2.0 TDI PD140 has poxy 288mm front brakes)
2. Front and Rear ARBs
3. Lowering (springs/shocks or Coilovers but have a read at this first)
4. Exhaust (turbo back/decat or cat back)
5. Remap (a custom remap or a remap that takes into account of your mods will give you more)

Job done!
Since you are in Liverpool I would give Awesome GTI a call as they are in Irlam, Manchester and I can certainly vouch for their work!

I think I'd move the brakes above the suspension. Its no good being able to corner quick if you cant stop quick.

2. Front and Rear ARBs

These made such a difference to mine.. Well worth doing!

 

[CYA]

Yeh anti roll bars.. I've got the Eibach one on the front and a Neuspeed one on the rear, has made such a difference to the handling of the car! Well worth the money in my oppinion!

I'm in Wavertree at the moment.. You?
