Get the 1.8T not the 2.0 N/A which was sometimes badged as a GTI. Later models with AUQ engine code are 180bhp with a k03s turbo, slightly larger than the k03 that came on earlier 150bhp models. AGU is large port, which is the earliest model, if you're looking to modify to big power.
Otherwise just the regular things such as frequent oil services and find some nice spec - Recaros make quite a difference
My Audi's got a derivation of that motor (in 190bhp guise) and I keep meaning to get it Revo'd, they reckon they can get it up to 215-225bhp for the sake of 300 quid!
Yes indeed! APY and BAMs came in the Audi S3s at 210 and 225 bhp respectively, and they're essentially the same engine.
Although Revo are quite an aggressive remap as they're off the shelf - you can always go to someone like R-Tech who will give you a custom remap for the same £
