Well my standard a7 that has S2000 injectors and very good breathing has been tuned to over 240bhp.

There wouldn't be much point upgrading your valve train unless you were upgrading your cams at the same time. They pretty much go hand in hand. You could do more harm than good fitting stiffer springs and still using OEM cams.

The obvious choice for pistons and rods are Mahle 11.5:1 Gold series and Eagle rods. With say Skunk2 Pro 2 cams you'd be looking at around the 250-270 mark, depending on all your other bits.

Breaking the 300bhp mark is where it gets ridiculously expensive. You'll need to spend around £1k just on the head work. Think I'm +12k in and nothing is even assembled yet

That's about right and what I paid for sleeved built, etc not including the charger. It does get expensive trying to break 300bhp.

... Right?!

if you have patience, you can build up a lot of the parts 2nd hand over time

depends how quickly you want to get it all done and built really.

That is the key. Been at it for 7 or so years now. I have nearly everything now and nearly everything is brand new. I've also spent less than half rrp.
