It's not just a matter of wacking a cam in and going for 200+bhp
I would save my money and just get it set upto it's best as at 180/190bhp you won't need a clutch or breather upgrade and won't need all the stuff to change cam
But saying that, a "genuine" 200bhp rs is great fun to drive
You know ive never thought about upgrading the clutch, would i be taking it upto a uprated sports or fast road clutch type? Also i know they do the mod where you have the mk5 quadrant and adjustable peddle too, would you do this as well?
When you say breather, do you mean for the oil? I currently have the baileys oil seperator tank which is not fitted, is this the item you would suggest i use to reduce oil temp and crankcase temp running bigger boost and bhp

Ignition upgrades would be installing new iridium sparks and new Leads im guessing? Would you change anything bout the dizzy?
Full service, im guessing mainly the oil here :P can do that myself
Would (if set up to 200 ish bhp) this car be ok to drive without the clutch for the time being, seems as i dont drive like too much of a nutter, will the standard clutch take a beating before it goes? Also would the gears take that much pull on them , and the drive shafts for that matter, im guessing so as ive heard of people easily running 230-250
Looking forward to your hearing your replies !!
