im looking to spend £1500 roughly on my cupra would just like to know what would be the best performance upgrades to go for?

Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
KO3s, laguna cooler, remap, Forge DV , suspension, strut braces, decent tyres....that should keep you busy for a while 
No point getting k03s without a cat back exhaust really.
For 1500 Id say get a cat back exhaust from blueflame (new), forge 007p dv (second hand), green cone filter new from badger5, laguna intercooler from ebay or second hand on here with new piping, remap but PTorque seems good for the £ if your close enough and whatever you have left put towards some good brakes (brembo 280 discs with ds2500 pads etc) or suspension (coilovers) unless you have crap tyres which if you do get them or the power wont get put down.
Edit- Oh and rear spacers!

Iv already got brembo brakes on it good tyres on 17's and thats it. Whats the best type of filter to go for been lokking at BMC but not quite sure?? DV, cat back exhaust, filter and remap are definitly wanted
definetly get better front Anti roll bars, rear spacers and coilovers. then if uve got some money left over get a Green dynatwist or exhaust
Just get a good cone filter from badger5. Dynatwist is a waste of money as is BMC. Lots of people have moved from them to open cone or taken the heat shield off. You get a better dump valve sound with open cone aswell.
You should get a turbo back exhaust not just cat back as the down pipe is very restrictive.
If you already have brembos and good tyres then you can get a new Blueflame turbo back exhaust for £600ish, used forge 007p for £50ish, new green open cone filter from badger5 for £50ish, laguna intercooler setup and piping for £200, remap from PTorque for £300ish, rear spacers from badger5 for £100ish. Which leaves £200 towards coilovers which should be about £500. Then once you have some more money you can get the coilovers and lastly get anit-roll bars which are about £300. Prob better to get the coilovers and anti-roll bars fitted at the same time as you will only need allignment done once then.
Obviously it costs to get all this stuff fitted but some of it you can do yourself.

wat about the k03s does that make a big diffrence and what is needed for tht? im gona go for the blueflame exhaust, dynatwist induction kit, forge splitter DV, decat pipe and remapped (revo stage2 i thing), laguna FMIC. and thinking about the k03s if possible
Some say it does. Some say it doesnt. Get everything else 1st and if you want it afterwards its an easy change.
