   As you said get the manifold on with a decent induction kit ie BMC and then get cams then a remap.
   Will see good gains with them, that's what I've done, just waiting to get cams fitted.
   Could go for throttle bodies like I'm doing but then it starts getting expensive.

   The bestcams to go for without having to change pistons etc is Newman ph3 or cat cams 708. There the wildest cams you can get without having to do what I mentioned above and everyone on here will tell you there the best ones to get.I've just bought the Newman ph3 for the gti.

   Closed Induction, cams, 4-2-1 manifold, decat back and that's bout it witout thinkin bout spendin £1500 on top of those!! Dnt forget brks and suspension though, not jst more power that makes these froggy go-carts quicker!!

   Can pick them up for around £300.00 or just under new and the standard pulleys will be fine as they can be adjusted for the timing.
   You can still run these without a re map but will make the car idle really poor and won't get the full potential from the cams until they've been mapped.

    Correct as mentioned here if you going to make the car quicker you need uprated brakes for stopping quicker.
