I have a factory stereo in my GTi, i want to install a sub but obviously i dont have the RCA outputs needed, is there a way i can install RCA outputs to the wiring of the stereo?

I had to purchase an install something called a Line Output Converter (LOC) for my last car in which I retained my OEM stereo. It basically takes the speaker inputs and transforms the signal into one suitable for RCA cables:

I found this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_186391_langId_-1_categoryId_265888#tab3

If its what i need i can pick it up instead of waiting for postage, unless the options you have linked will be better quality?

Im using an MTX REQ5 sound processor, also has a feature called smart engage which provides a remote wire for your amps that turns on when sound is detected.
