Is It Worth It? (Tuning A 100k Car.)

Hey guys. I'm thinking of tuning my '98 TDI 90 Ibiza. The only thing is, it's done 100k miles. Is it still worth doing it?

I would be getting a green panal filter, drill the air box, performance exhaust, uprated brakes, uprated clutch, remap, and an uprated suspension, in that order.

Is that about the right order? Anything missing? It's also worth noting that it will be a very "stagey" process, starting off with the filter and air box done together. Then the exhaust on it's own, then brakes on their own, ect... ect...

I would be extremly grateful if someone could recommend which company to use for each part. (ie clutch, remap ect...)

Also, i've seen this on the net http://www.dieseltuning.uk.com/vag37.html. It's £260. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is a standard ECU remap a better option? Do you know roughly how much a basic remap would cost and what (roughly) gains i would recieve?

Many thanks in advance to everyone who can help me out.

P.S. How do i find out if my engine is a PD engine? Thanks.
