Well, the title of your thread is "..want 300 reliable HP..."
If I was using the cheapest products out, I would be worried about the reliability of them. And also, as I said and as you just said...that will only put you in the 285 chp range...not 300 chp.
where are you getting a $300 fuel pump upgrade?
KMD and Autotech are the cheapest I know, and they both run around ~$350 for just the internals. From everything I have read about upgrading fuel pumps, this is one of the areas that you need to be very careful with, as anything as little as a dog hair that gets into the pump while you are putting the internals in can ruin it.
You own a luxory sedan, not a honda civic. You want reliable HP? spend the money to get the parts from the companies with the best reputation, feedback, and customer service.

Seems like a lot of work for little gain. What about the 650HP stage 3 kit for my 3.2 - JBS TS 650, 3.2 24V V6 Stage 3 Turbo Kit for the Golf R32 - JBS
Maybe it's a little more expensive than a chip but I'm thinking I could really enjoy this.

i'm with 2WD on this. you can get an extra 80 crank HP and 100+ lb-ft with little over $1000-which includes the labor for the test pipe install. that's what it cost me. for another $1000, i can get an APR fuel pump to bump the power over 300 but the best value is the stage 2+.
