Jabba sport induction kits i've heard are pretty good if not a bit pricey at around £220 a bit less would be the green cotton induction kits. Avoid high oil retaining kits like K&N as apparently can mess with the MAF.
Anniversary kit is nice but almost as expensive as a R32 kit which i think looks much more aggressive but more painting and hassel involved plus you would probably want to get everything else with it like the wheels, suspension, seats, headlights etc and then your looking at thousands.
