Performance wise there won't be much point as you'll have to spend big money to see any gains. I'd go for handling if you want to do anything.

Strut braces from an s3 to tighten up the front end would be a good shout. Direct fit but obviously you will have to drill around the strut tops.

It's the 8L model which was pretty muh same period as the mk4 golf. They pop up on eBay from time to time around the £50 mark. Try a search 's3 strut brace' see what you get back.

to be fair tho i did have a 1.8t in my audi tt and never game me any trouble at all in 2yrs of driving , i have vcds so can check for codes and things , and secondly its a 2nd car so if needed to i can afford to have it off the road for a while to have work carried out
