Have a look through my build, I've removed alot of stuff on mine. :wink:
(Link in my sig).

If you want to start removing the EGR system, then you'll need some better tuning, which is obviously more money but of course set up right will be more power. :D

Pretty light so far then, Power steering and aircon have some heavy bits and you've tackled those. You're also lucky enough you don't have abs already, so yay! I spy the carbon cannister (+bracket) - just below the brake booster. Doesn't weigh alot but may as well bin it. Follow the line to the back of the car and it's got a pipe to the fuel tank. Just remove a part of the rubber pipe at the back and vent it to the back of the car (after the one-way valve).

Not sure other than that. You removed the sound deadening in the interior? It's a bitch to get out - ice/freeze spray and chip it out is best. But the weight soon adds up.

Sunroof? Remove and blanking plate and sealant to edges?
