Getting ready for stage 1. maybe 2?

[Tim_Attard]

Hello just had my mot and it passed apart from my sidelights had blown, they were replaced and as soon as i turned them on they blew again, thinking its related to my aftermarket HID's? anyho a few other questions will this guide:
N249 Bypass guide LCR - SEAT Cupra.net - SEAT Forum
Work on my a3 1.8t AUM? guessing its the sameish.

Ordering:
Creation motorsports TIP
S2000 Filter
NGK BKR7E Spraks
JOM Coilovers
JOM Droplinks
Heat Shield - VW Golf mk4/A3 Air intake heat shield open cone shield cupra | eBay

Can anyone see any problems using the heat shield and s2000 filter?

Lowering my car how low can it be for dyno (when i get it mapped?)

Also for stage 2 would i be right in saying all i need on top is a FMIC and if so would this work -
VW GOLF MK4 1.8T 20V FRONT MOUNT TURBO INTERCOOLER KIT | eBay

Finally if anyone fancies fitting a catch can and simplifying the PCV system + n249 bybass how much? as i really don't like the look of the job

P.S. open to suggestions if u disagree with my list

Cheers
Tim

the n249 delete is really simple mate(30 min job if your not competent 10 mins if you are)
