best mods for £500

[dom]

ive got a creation motorsport tip in myebay already just about to purchase it but the hoses im wondering about are these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350672855367?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

any good? or avoid?

Personally I wouldn't, I'm running Venair hoses and they're excellent quality:

Avoid the eBay tat hoses.  They are tiny in diameter and much better with forge TIP or SFS.

Dont be put off with the drive.  Book a hotel night before (£20?) and spend the day with the guys down there, then your trip home will be 4hours.
R-tech really are the best out there.  Fact.

AS other said, Silicone TIP as above and a FMIC and a map and should be on £500 ish.

Fmic and tip all day long.

Too many people rush to get a remap, then end up putting mods on after and not getting the full potential.

Get all your mods then get a custom map from R-Tech.

yeah defo gonna go with get the modifications first then a custom remap. decided gonna take peoples advice on here and start with the intake and boost hoses then ill look to move onto a hybrid k03s or a k04 with either a front mount or an uprated side mount.

Wouldn't bother with an 'updated' side mount, you will always still have the restricting factor of pish  air flow through it no matter how large it is

SMIC is flawed for anything 'stage 2'

i was looking at the forge side mount and there was another slightly cheaper option but front mounts are gonna spank my budget straight away thats why i was thinking sidemount but ideally im gonna want to get as close to 300bhp as possible so chances are im gonna have to bite the bullet and go front mount.
