Spending £1500 on a car valued at £6000 is 25% 
And the mods will reduce its value to £4500 which then becomes 33%
Can't see the logic myself, but someone will come on to tell you where to spend your dosh!!

Ignore Pete (most do)
If you buy sensibly (ie 2nd hand parts), you will recover most the costs if you want by putting it back to std at re-sell time.
Assuming you have a totally std car:
Full-Decat = £300
Dawes+KnockLink+boost gauge = £150 OR TEK3 = £650+
Panel Filter = £30
That should will you some healthy gains.
Next stage would be:
FE-TD05 Turbo(or similar) = £350+
Tek3 = £650 (if not already accounted for above)
FPR+pump= £200+
Would run that on sensible boost levels otherwise you would need also:
Uprated intercooler = £150-£350
Gearbox = £800+
Obviously you would need to take into account labour costs etc.
