ok so time for an update:

I ordered the Powerbrake GT rotors and Powerbrake GT1 front pads.  they arrive in first week October.  Thanks JDM Monkey. 

Then I need to find a set of rear pads, looking at ferodo DS2500 for the rear, stock rear rotors.
Then I will do some brake fluid and braided front hoses (and rear if I feel reckless with my credit card) and then I will have some pretty sick braking for the street.

I also ordered the Corksport Short Ram Intake and Turbo Inlet Pipe (LINK), and fitted it a few weeks back. 
This thing is insane  , you can hear the turbo spool up really distinctly, and the stock bypass valve recirculating boost is pretty loud as well. (with windows up or down – obviously dependant on how hard u are on throttle). 
They say its good for 33whp (24wkw) and 25 lb/ft torque (34nm) at the wheels, but I haven’t had it on the dyno yet, and my butt dyno is not calibrated, lol. 

I also picked up a set of Corksport rear motor mount inserts (LINK), to transform the stock rear motor mount from a sloppy POS, to effectively a solid mount.  Helps to get the power down better, prevent wheel hop, and also prevent it sounding and feeling like the entire motor is hitting the firewall on quick shifts from 1-2 gear, lol.
Just need to find a place that will lend me their lift for 20 min, and a torque wrench that does 70 lb/ft (95nm), then I will fit that – want to get it fitted in time for Jap Fest.

Finally, I am planning on getting wiring done for an amp, I have a Digital Designs 4x125w RMS amp that I want to use to drive 2 ten inches or eight inch subs in a smallish box (each sub wired to two channels bridged, so that the whole amp is used.).  The door speakers etc will be kept stock (stock = bose).

I am also eyeing out H&R springs, but then along with those I would need to do shocks / struts, and in that case coilovers make more sense.  But that is a big cost, so I am parking that idea for now.

I want to do software, downpipe and an upgraded hi pressure fuel pump, but I will wait till warranty is done for that (2013, 120k km’s)

I'm pretty happy with the corksport goods, they looked really high quality (and nothings broken yet, haha)

I want to do a dyno run at KAR.  there are a few Mk2 MPS' that have dyno'd there in stock form, so I will just use that as a base run - not ideal, but it will do.

Software, either EcuTek or Uni-Q+, leaning more towards ecuTek, as I am not a fan of hacked wiring harnesses.

I might be interested in getting a wotbox for 2step launch control and flat foot shifting control.

Thanks I will keep TRS in mind when i look for suspension mods.
