Recently purchased a 2002 Leon Cupra 180 remapped is my first proper turbo petrol car

Only mods it had when i got it were a Forge dumpvalve, unsure which model i believe it maybe the 008, its black plastic and has silver allen bolts around the top of it?

My plan is to basically fit a decat, resonated cobra stainless de cat back system, i have already fitted a pipercross panel filter to the box, unsure whether i should drill the box or not?

Once ive got my exhaust on im taking it to my local revo/r tech and getting a healthcheck and rolling road done to see what shes putting out and how well shes running/performing, though reading through the tuning bits on here it seems regardless of what stage map people are running, a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator always seems to pop up on the mods list? I was thinking for some daft reason they would be 100 - 200 quid, but they can be had for £40 new on the good old ebay, so i wanted to know if this would be another worthwhile mod for the price before i get it rolling roaded/checked over? Or will it mess up my fuel consumption/make the car run wrong/rich? Are they easy to fit?

Im happy with my power and im not trying to gain as much power as im happy with how quick it is now, but if a de-cat and exhaust will squeeze a few more ponies out of it and a fuel reg will make it any better for the price they are i thought about getting one?

Any other little mods or bits i can buy for the engine before the rolling road that are worthwhile and will benefit it?

Thanks
 
Its already been mapped to stage one, i assume its around 215 ish at the moment, but done filter and decat and stainless cat back next then im getting it checked on the rollers as i dont have the printout as the previous owner who had it mapped lost the printout. I thought for some reason it would work the same other than having more capability if needs be over the standard item?
