My 05' Golf TDI came with a Bosch unit from the factory and lasted about 90k or so, I replaced it with a Bosch Reman and its been doing well, 120k now.

PFR6Q was equivalent to the stock Bosch plugs. They work fine.
Monroe != OEM. OEM is Sachs I believe. In actuality, Sachs OEM is probably better quality than any aftermarket manufacturer short of a full motorsports setup.

I got an oem style clutch kit made by Valeo for an 06 gti 2.0t fsi and it's been doing really well.
Slap on a set of Akebono ceramic brake pads, and you've got a car ready to take on any highway or race track \u2014 and that's exactly what Flieger is doing with it.
I went with General G-MAX AS-03 for my GTI. I like them because they are still on the cheaper end of the market but have good consumer reviews and the warranty is better than most of the tires you listed. General has a cheaper touring tire but I wanted to stick to another set of performance rates AS tires like the stock Pirelli set that was replaced.
I chose the APR intercooler to replace my current intercooler setup (OEM intercooler with add-on Forge Twincooler). I have to say, after seeing pictures of the APR intercooler online then finally holding it in person, this thing is massive.
I got a starter from AutoZone (Duralast - remanufactured from Mexico) and installed it myself. Anyway, I got it free, took careful note as to where all the wires were supposed to go and then set about installing the other starter.
All the recommended denso plugs have the wrong gap. They list 1.1mm gap for the 2.0t The recommended gap should be .7 to .8 mm Plus the "20" heat range misfired a lot in the cold for me (about 20 deg F)
