Sorry for the amount of threads, most can now be closed apart from chrome parts and armster arm rest.

Basically just want to know the best engine upgrades to put on a 2.0 mk4 sport.

Been told a remap would not give me great improvements, i have been looking at an induction kit, something like this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280319625440&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I am eventually going to get a new catback exhaust.

Now a few other bits not to do with the engine, i am thinking of getting these coilovers and spacers, was thinking about 15mm.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350229208113&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

These spacers but it specifies for a ibiza 6k

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hubcentric-Wh...in_3?hash=item4ce6e4df39&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Or these

http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3883299

I know i will need knew bolts.

I just want some help as i am new to all this, had shitty cars in the past not worth upgrading.

So basically

New exhaust
Coilovers
spacers
induction kit

If there is anything else that i can do let me know.

All help greatly appreciated.

Id go for these spacers mate i just bought a set and its basically what everyone using 20mm is what you want!

As for the coilovers i personally wouldnt put them on my car they just seem really cheap and i guess you get what you pay for!

Induction kit looks good but again i dont know i just bumped on a cheap halfords universal filter but i am going to upgrade at some point maybe try get a cold air feed for good looks :D

Whats the best way to lower it then as putting spacers on now would look silly as the car is too high.

Will those spacers be ok with my 17" alloys i have.

Yep im putting them on friday and my car isnt lowered dont mind how it looks as i will eventually lower it someday!

Id go with well known coilovers such as these http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/wei...a-6l-12-14-14tdi-16sdi-19tdi-0202-p-1586.html brilliant piece of kit for the price or the V-maxx ones but you will need shorter drop links at about £40 i think http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/vma...a-6l-12-14-14tdi-16sdi-19tdi-0202-p-2340.html

I would defo go for the weitec ones but im in the process of buying my turbo back miltek so funds are very low lol

Is that 390 for the 2 or the whole kit, if its the kit will go for them.

Will they definately fit a 2.0 petrol as it isnt listed.

Whats a good exhaust to go for or is a custom one the best.

Thats for the KIT


And yeh they do fit the 2.0 isnt listed as its not a common engine really it only came on sport model

The remap for yours should take you from 115bhp>130bhp it wud be noticable
