2.0 xsi.... gti6 inlet and exhaust manifolds. Inlet is easy to do and will make it sound great. Exhaust is harder to do but sounds great. Decat will help the top end but then you will have to find a friendly MOT tester. Stainless exhaust will improve sound and maybe add a few ponies but not the most cost effective way.
Not sure what the ecus are like on these but ive never seen anyone remap one.
Other mods you could look at are GTI6 6 speed gearbox, quickshift, upgraded gearlinkages to make the shift feel better...
Handling youre look at lowering 40 - 60mm, GTI6 torsion bars and arb. Bistein B8s and eibach springs are probably what you want unless youre after the adjustability of coilovers. They are a great handling car as standard but you can make it a bit better. Id concentrate on handling over power.
Braking... gti6 brakes are direct fit. Braided brake lines.
Dewiper the rear, get a silver bumper for phase 3 with the exhaust cut out. Get some phase 3 rub strips to update the look.
First thing id do is get some phase 3 crystal headlights. Theyre cheap at £40 a pair and will make it look more modern. Probably be better for driving too. Get osram nightbreaker bulbs.
