I haven't made any mods to the GTI; but I also have a 1997 Audi A4 1.8t.
I had a flash from Total Audi Performance back in 2000 or so when the car had about 75k on it, and it was fine I guess; no complaints, and definitely noticed the difference The turbo seals finally started leaking at about 130k, but that's not out of the norm even for stock; and I was driving the heck out of it. (got it glowing orange a couple of times!)
At 150k I finally pulled and rebuilt the motor and replaced the turbo with an APR stage 3 kit - I'm still in the rebuilding process (economy has slowed things down a LOT), but I am extremely impressed with the build quality and customer service. I would highly recommend them if you are shopping for upgrades.
