It will be a good bit faster with all that stuff. After that you could go with a bigger turbo, but i would start with the basics and see if that satisfies you.

What do you want for the interior? Didnt the GLI already come with aluminum accents and Recaros?
on point

and to add to that list, grab a turbo inlet pipe while your at it..much much better airflow and throttle response
