I don't know what gains you would see with the intercooler but I would be inclined to go rear ARB and anti life kit. Definitely makes a nice difference to the handling.

Just with the engine bed been of;thought it was a good opportunity to up grade the anti roll bars

When I was looking into arb's, after asking a few people on here it seemed to be only the rear arb that gave the most benefit unless you are doing lots of trackdays. I haven't compared the difference but I'm only running an updated rear and the handling is much improved.

Custom map

I've been toying with this idea as I'm not 100% convinced the Shark map is perfect.

My vote goes for piggy banking the dosh, for when your turbo blows up as usual.  :driver:
