I've now got an ek4 to play with as I sold my ek9 because I didnt want to play with that too much.

I want to get the Edelbrock Performer X Kit - B Series

I have found it on here:
Edelbrock - Performer Turbo X Kit - B-series - FUNKY POWER

I think its what I need as I dont have easy access to a proper tuner without getting on a ferry!

If I get this kit what would be the best exhaust to have?

Should I upgrade the engine mounts and get a better clutch (but not a lightened flywheel?)

Any help appreciated. Thanks
 
Probably any 2.5/3" system would probably do the job in my opinion depending on how much more torque the setup will gain will determain what clutch setup to use so find that out and you'll be away :)

2x, spot on.
 
Yes 2.5" with decat at minimum, upgrade the clutch for sure, flywheel too if ya like. Upgrading engine mounts will reduce wheel hop and give better handling but it will increase harshness and vibration.

Best exhaust is always the biggest, free-est flowing possible/feasible/practical on a turbo car. It's just a matter of how loud is legal (or you can tolerate) and of course ground clearance etc etc

Engine mounts are not a should (unless broken), more of a 'would be better' in my opinion. They improve performance (as stated) and they do make axles last longer especially if you got broken mounts.

Better clutch is a must, lightened flywheel is really up to you

goodluck
