   would that give me better power gain and how much would that cost under 500?
   thanks for the idea

   Induction wont do a great deal.
   the suspension quality will be alot more obvious to you as a driver.

    Factory brakes are pretty useless mate. Pick up calipers, discs and pads for about £130-150...

    Scrappy mate,
    
    306 GTi6 / 206GTi brakes are usually a popular choice.

    thats an idea but the list is wrong cos you need to add in the £8 delivery charge from Kam
    sorry for bursting your bubble

    Drop the induction kit (wont make a noticable difference, just sound).
    
    Save up a hundred pound, with the money you saved from not buying the inductionkit plus your hundred quid buy some good brakes
