not really bothered about what i spend tbh, but what i do want is alot of power but alot of reliability too...if thats possible, but if i had to choose i would pick reliability over performance.

to make it easier lets say if i had 2 - 4 thou to spend

now i dont want to sound like i'm takeing pi55 here but with 4k plus your car you might be able to find a type r which although on paper doesn't seem that much quicker but believe me there very quick!

but with 4k he can make the car quicker than an ra. If he wants more power now, he will want more power if he got an ra, only difference is he wont be able to afford it then

Okay youve got a good base then already with current mods. If you have the td05 turbo (think you will have) then for a budget of I would say no more than £1200 you could just fit some bigger injectors, get a power fc ecu get that fitted and mapped and you could see well over 300 bhp. Maybe loose the dump valve for a standard recirc or uprated recirc.

Full HKS exhaust and Decat
Silicone hoses
uprated fuel pump
Lightened Flywheel
HKS Coilovers

ok from here
do something with the brakes 4 pots would be good
bigger injectors 440cc or 550cc
fuel press regulater
power fc ecu / or alike
front mount intercooler
up grade turbo
you will need to have maped for all this to work as it should

Saloon or wagon? both had different turbos so the level of tuning will be slightly different but the basics will still be the same.
