1.8T i'm guessing??

Go for the 312mm upgrade as fitted to Anni's and Octavia VRS only need the carriers (i think; either those or the calipers! Can never fecking remember!!) and some discs and new pads and you're good to go.  Source the carriers from a scrappy

As for suspension upgrades fit a rear anti roll bar and then get some uprated shocks and springs; have a look at www.balancemotorsport.co.uk bloke there is very helpful and will advise you best as what will give you a sport yet comfortable ride

I honestly have no idea which cooler would be best. i beleive someone on here has just recently fitted one. their name escapes me at the min.

I just know they give good results with tubby engines.

Someone correct me if im wrong here - if you want a cooler you should get it before you get the remap as i think they can boost you a little more with the cooler air supply.

in an ideal world you'd upgrade every piece of the engine and then get a custom remap to take it all into account.  however as we live in a stupid world full of government stealing taxes we normally just get along by doing bits and bobs when we actually get a spare bob or two

As for the Cooler - GTI Guy just had one fitted; thing it was the Forge one; see here
