Firstly, the air filter - do NOT fit any kind of K&N, or any kind of oiled foam filter. They will fcuk up your MAF.

Secondly, chip tuning - do not use SuperChips. There are considerably better chip tuners out there, for similar money. I would recommend using only a VAG-dedicated tuning company, such as REVO. REVO do a "switchable" map setting, enabling you to swap between the modified and standard settings (for trips to the stealer), and are "invisible" to the stealer!

Exhausts - Milltek Sport exhausts really are top-notch stuff. A nice deep "mature" sound, very high quality fit and finish, and the cat-back systems should give about 8bhp. A hi-flow sports cat should release about a further 5 horses.
