Question So...next round of mods...what to do?

Ok, been fairly content with my UK99 classic turbo with the following mods:

Full H&S exhaust (decatted)
Tek 2
Induction kit
Removed resonator for increase air flow
Run on Optimax

The rest is standard.

Whats the next sensible round of mods to make a difference to straightline speed?

this happens far to often

you mod, it feels fast, a few weeks later its like a lazy old cat that refuses to get up and do anything

a few weeks back i had my clutch done and a 7.5kg flywheel it felt much faster, now im thinking " did the flywheel even make a diffrence"

sutimes i think subarus are TO easy to drive

There's a load of plastic in the near side wing that clogs up the air flow to the induction kit from the front vent (orange plastic bit).

So...anyone have any ideas what I could do to up the power without too much cost?

I also have a good reason now...my mate's TT is faster - lol!!
