I have been running redline 5W40 since 5k miles in my 08 GTI and I noticed an immediate improvement in turbo spool up. Others have noticed this improvement on other turbo cars as well.
newer Bosch plugs, cap, rotor (maybe 15k ago)
Im running 195/40/17 on my Corrado. I was never a fan of 17's but absolutely fell in love with these ultra rare BBS's and decided to buy then and put them on anyways. Since I didnt want to rub I bought smaller yet still reasonable tires. They are made by nanking but your brands are limited with oddball sizes.
Used to run 195/40/17 Toyo's on my mk2.
i think it's possible to find smaller than 205/40 but not easily or cheaply.. i think you can get 195/45. however the falken 512 (which you can now only get from discount tire on ebay) is much smaller than most 205/40's. it's what i run on my mk3 and they are much smaller than the set they replaced.
Corrado 11 inch brakes should give plenty of stopping power. My Corrado stops on a dime too.
Bosch redesigned the alternator and they seem to last as long as the original factory warranty.
I spoke with someone at Hawk yesterday (not Mr. DeMarino). The rep told me that Hawk Ceramic are more linear than HPS but otherwise have similar friction.
I currently have on my car a set of depo/helix smoked angel eye headlights. One of the adjusters on the passenger side light has broke. The headlights themselves are in good shape, i would rate them about 7 out of ten. there are some nics in them from the previous owner being a daily driver, that seems to be the only problem minus the broken adjuster mechanism.
I've found that the NGK plugs that Canadian Tire has sucks....
