Afternoon all 
So I have taken the plunge today and ordered a forge twintake and a milltek tbe resonated with sport cat.
I was going to go for blueflame but couldn't find one listed for sport back, I enquired with a couple of companies with no response so thought sod it not much difference in the price and guaranteed to fit.
Now after some reading it has become apparent that stage 2 is not really worth it and best to go for stage 2+.
So I am going to have to fight the urges to fit the new goodies and wait to acquire a loba hpfp and a loba stage 2 clutch/flywheel kit.
This is good for power but not for stopping so its a choice of Vwr brakes or alcons.
I have also been reading good things about the L0400 turbo upgrade I like this because its bolt on with only a modification between turbo and cai required.
But this is bordering the limits if stock internals so new rods, pistons and head bolts needed to play safe.
Then it's a question of which tuner, Mrc are close so are Owen developments but need to speak to them about wether they can build the car and supply maps or if they are more product orientated.
So a quest for more ponies has resulted in a fair few months more of saving and a big shopping list.
I have realised its going to be cheaper in the long run to do all this in one go rather than bit by bit and knowing myself I won't be able to stop at stage 2+ and will always want more!
total bill if I add mounts to that and suspension is around 9k excluding fitting, software and bits I've probably missed, some of the fitting I can do like exhaust, cai, hpfp, brakes so will be clutch, engine build, turbo etc where the costs will be.
Alot of money yes but add the cost of the car to that which makes 28k then fitting/map cost around 30k.
In my eyes good value for a monster!
So firstly am I insane?? Secondly I would appreciate any advice on parts I have missed, products I should reconsider etc?
Don't get me wrong this isn't a question of c **k swinging, I just want to unlock the full potential of this car and I think it's the right one to do it with and If I am going to do it, which is still uncertain, like S3 Alex has done I want to do it well whatever the cost and have all the right information and planning first!
Thoughts appreciated
