Blueflame catback and decat/downpipe would be the cheapest option to getting a turbo back zorst.

www.dcperfomance.co.uk is the cheapest i think online for blueflame exhausts.

You could alternatively get some coillies and some ARB's and do the handling mods at the same time and save on fitting and alignment etc, thats if you plan on adding ARB's.

imo getting AP coillies and some ARB's would better than spending £800 on the pro-streets and would be within the budget :happy2:

I have tried AP coilovers on many cars, they cant be put in the same category as Eibach in my opinion.

For another option, look at Bilstein B12 if the height adjustment isnt too important. They use a 'proper' inverted damper with H&R springs.

You also sell both of these as well.  :grin:

If I was in your shoes my first choice would be the bilstein b12s they are not coilovers just springs and dampers but feckin amazing I had them on my last gti, if it is coilovers you are defintootly wanting the kws are great and the weitecs are very good to only they use cheaper materials. I can't fault the kws on mine, very well judged ! A little to harsh on crap roads if was being picky though.

A blueflame exhaust would be my choice for the exhaust, again I had a milly on my old gti but the blueflame wins hands down on the sound stakes  :party:

We also sell AP, K&N and Blueflame, but I dont reccomend them as much as other products as they simply are not as good. (awaits the blueflame brigade with flame suit at the ready)
