id probably go for:
knocklink
boost gauge
anti-bumpsteer mod with alk and geometry settings (unless u purely are after straight-line power)
full decat.. try to get one 2nd hand
in that order
that should run close to your budget, with the rest saving towards a remap ecu.
next stage would be injectors, uprated fuel pump, fmic & headers with ecu remap to get the most out of them
uprate brakes & tyres when the old ones are worn.. unless you're planning on doing track days and/or find the standard ones totally useless and then uprate them asap.
just my opinion

so, the next stage should be :
injectors, uprated fuel pump, fmic & headers with ecu remap to get the most out of them
how does this give me more power ?
is it because i can run more boost with the fmic/fuel pump ?
I understand that some power will come from the headers.

book yourself a driving course with Don Palmer and have loads of change for toys.
stopped smoking recently, and am saving the ciggie money to go on his course which is reputedly one of the best.
