200 mile a week your prob looking at a £40 bill if you go for an 1.8t so unless that sounds good for you then id go for a 130pd and map it.

3k for a diesel anni would be good goin tho, but id be put off mapping it as the 150s have a camshaft wearing reputaion (from what ive read, over and over!)

torque is half the fun tho, handling isnt great on mk4s, and a heavy castengine makes things worse, i hate to say it but i would try and stretch to a mk5.

Not read any posts.

But 750 will get you a t304 kit, manifold, FMIC, oil cooler, turbo etc... turbo might need rework or 2nd hand one is also an option, throw some rods, fuel pump, injectors and maf and that will easily see you with 300bhp and lb at 1bar.

Then any left over money on remap, handling mods, exhaust and meth.
