First, I would suggest spending a bit of that money making sure the car is in the best running condition possible before throwing any mods on it. Replace fluids, hoses, etc.

head gasket, cometic or hks. and replace rest of 18 year old crap, fluids, tranny , diff. tune up to the max. then you will have probably spent your money after that get another $1000 and go w/ intake and exhaust. boyond that get a new job for high hp.
Depends on what you want.... Mabey a good CD palyer? a downpipe...Filter....BOV....
again it depends what you are after, Overall performance....Looks.... Sound, Just do with your car what you like.

I'd say spend all the money on getting the car in perfect running order... Then buy some washers for your waste gate !!
ya ive got most of my tune up work done already and i already spent about 900$ on a stereo so this 1000$ is goin into performance.
thanks for the replys

Damn! Oh well, if your ever in Toronto just pm me lol It'd be fun to have another mk3 to go driving with!
If you have $1,000 for upgrades, I'd get a HKS head gasket. I know they are spendy 1.2mm stopper $300 and ARP head studs $100. Pay a shop $200 to put it on (thats my cost anyway) $600-700 spent. Go on Ebay and buy a downpipe($100) full 3" exhaust to muffler total for exhaust($300-400). Ebay intake adapter plate with filter($20) shim your wastgate a little. Roughly $1,000 spent and you have a stronger then stock head and a full exhaust pushing your power from 230hp to roughly 260 or more. Bamn theres a start. Good luck
Hmm... ebay eh? Never was really 100% trusting of that place... Heard too many stories of parts arriving broken or misadvertized. I think it's better to just go with a few high quality parts then just a tonne of sketchy ones.
