For your car, 40 - 50 bhp. For his '03, 30 - 40 bhp. For the newer cars they just flash your ecu with the software. For a '98 they will have to sodder the chip in.

the handheld flashloaders are easy to install, but otherwise u need someone to do it for u. Unless u want to ripe into ur ECU pull out a chip and solder (if u even know what that is) into it, then replace it. then yes it is very easy to install.

a chip reflash runs for 500 and depending on the the DV its gonna be about 30-150 depending on wut u get
and no way your gonna do any bodywork wit only 300 unless u get those knockoff trunk lip spoilers
or u can get a roof spoiler

maybe you can by a single name brand side skirt i say buy the driver side side skirt

A VAG-COM or similar would be nice to have for lots of stuff you might want to do in the future.
