You've answered your own question in your ID,

"At the bank looking to see if i have saved enough for a remap!"

That will be about £500-600

Spend the change on suspension mods.

remap is a must if you got 1k lying around, use the rest for a really good paint correction/valet

Well yeah i knew there are lots of options, but what are the best things to do for that sort of money. i am standard at teh mo with a scooby ninja exhaust system, decat, and panel air filter. So perhaps uprate the fuel pump along with remap and perhaps a new turbo if i can get one cheap enough?

Get some 4 pots on the front before you go about making it faster. Often overlooked untill its to late.

Better to stop using the brakes rather than the bumper !!.

if you go with this set up you might as well buy a 3 port and look at the VF34 over the 35

I stand corrected. I am wrong I am sorry :P
My car had Alcon calipers fitted as an optional extra.
They are also 4 pots why would you upgrade 4 pots with another type of 4 pots?? Other than them being better than standard?

Suspension, yours will be getting tired by now and a good set up really brings the car to life. Then you can up the power.
