Good brand full exhaust likely to cost $5-6K or DP 2000 (decat way cheaper but highly illegal), intercooler $1500-2000+ fitted, intakes $500-800 and then DSG tune prob another 1500. So stage 1 280KW 525NM for $1450 (apr on sale) or stage 2 prob 300-310KW for min $6000 more done properly.

I have a completely stock DSG, and have been playing around with the idea of mods and tuning for some time now.
timmybizzle
but if you had to have a list of recommendations - as i have been through a few. this is what i suggest based on you being in the uk)

I would consider going stage 1 first as getting huge results from tune alone 360-380hp (270-283kw) and up to 410lbs/ft 550nm. (that's Rick at Unicorn prob best for tune for torque and custom, if you're in UK but I doubt it)

I have contacted vagmotorsport, waiting for a quote. Over the phone he offered me the "lower output" stage 1 APR tune at 240kW.
Brolly
Like Timmybizzle said, prob best to stick with stock intake system for filtration over there and they do work really well. Main reason for changing to aftermarket is sound. Performance wise it's very minimal!

if you value your vw warranty i would say go plug and play - either dtuk on a budget or oettinger if you have more to spend.
Installing the parts to the Golf R
The installation was completed over two days, but Revo suggest it can be done in a day-and-a-half. The time consuming parts are swapping out the turbo and the intercooler.
Direct Replacement Upgrades
As with the turbo, the Revo intercooler and Pipe Upgrade Kit has been designed to directly replace the restrictive and lower budget OEM items. Again, most of this will be hidden, but it does its job feeding the 2.0 TSI engine with cooler air. Essential with a big power forced induction unit like this.
Revo IS38ETR Turbo vs standard IS38 Turbo
The Revo IS38ETR offers significant performance gains over a stock IS38. It comes with a new OEM compressor and turbine housings, so it’s a straight swap with no modifications needed. Every weak point of the stock IS38 has been enhanced. The compressor and turbine housings have been CNC re-profiled to match the larger wheels and stronger shaft.
The IS38ETR V2 is now here
The IS38 ETR Turbo has now been enhanced further with our latest V2 revision. See more information here.
Revo ECU Performance Software
Revo’s goal with their ECU Software was to enable the IS38ETR to be fitted without any loss of reliability or drivability. It had to work on a stock engine without the need for forged internals. To achieve this, they spent two years testing the set-up ensuring the kit carried out thousands of miles worldwide.
Maintaining the Character of the Golf R
The Revo IS38ETR package not only transforms the Golf R into an extremely fast car, but it does so without compromising drivability. It’s one thing to create a quick car, but quite another to do so while maintaining its original character.
