k before i help you must first bash you k so y did you purchase a car that is slow???? secondly dubs arent the fast cars on the road nor will they probably ever be BUT there are some nice mods for them so here is a link to whats the best on the market for a 1.8t click here

also if you arent looking for that right now then you may wanna looking into getting it chipped and a decent exhaust to allow the turbo to breath there are many chips are available for the 1.8t so i would do some research to see what fits you best
also i would take it back and get my boys APR stg. GTI its a 03 and he is looking for around 19k for it

also check out vwvortex.com it will have plenty of good info. BUT it will also have some retards beware!!!

There are tons of mods for a 1.8t, look around, if you search, they will come. Or you could swap a 24v VR6 in there.

IMO this wouldnt be worth it. Since he isnt looking to go all out, it'd be MUCH easier to have a 4cyl turbo with serious potential already in the car.

I know, it was a joke, cause everyone says I bash 1.8t's and love VR6's.

Les at Eurotech is one of the only vw tuners in the area. 813.879.9863

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeroforum?id=27 This is your best bet.... the 1.8t forum on vwvortex.com

Here is the list to get you started:
chip the ECU... best bang for the buck
replace DV .... they are know to fail
2.5" turbo back exhaust <------ kinda pricey
