if i was starting from scratch again i would go..
modded airbox > dv > remap > exhaust/cat > wheels > suspension > brakes > intercooler > then start looking at big turbo packages.
obviously any exterior/interior or ICE mods could fit in anywhere, wallet permitting

For what you can pick up ko3s now, your better off changing the turbo before you get it remapped then you can get better gains.

Still a fair bit of wedge for relatively little gain, only reason i upgraded to k03s was because my k03 got mashed. I'd rather have put the money towards a proper turbo conversion

Yeh i know what u mean, I have had mine remapped and am now getting the bits together for an ihi conversion, so means getting it remapped again another £500
So if anyone is thinking about changing there turbo for an uprated one do it before you get it remapped.
