you may lose your torque band if you freeflow the exhaust too much on the 1.4
cheap options for dampers and springs are out there...as said, gti beam, struts, brakes all cheap found second hand
and gti ARB and a strut brace upper and lower

A damn good service. You wont get much out of that little engine but the best way is to make sure its perfectly healthy and making as much power as it can. Could always put throttle bodies on it for lols, it would definately draw alot of attention :p
Doesnt even own a 306.
