R32 Tuning Advice (noob alert!)

[Hoppy]

I'm new, so please be gentle Lots of questions, sorry!

On the brink of getting me an R32 DSG. Just got the missus an 05 TT V6 with DSG. It's friggin brilliant, especially the DSG. I like it so much I want an R32, but being used to a modded Scoob, a bit more poke would be nice

I know the 2.0l turbos are much easier to tune, but are they as nice to drive as the V6? Apart from being thirsty and poor on CO2, the V6 must be nicer to drive, surely? And I want 4WD.

How much power can the R32's DSG gearbox/clutch take?

I've heard AMD are good, and they do a chip and pipes for 20bhp and improved driveability. Is this worth best part of £1k? Which tuning company do you guys rate?

Can you fit the top end from an R36 Passat for an easy 300bhp? Nobody seems to have done this, so I wonder why not?

What are the OEM brakes and suspension like on an R32, when pressing on? I'm not going to track the car but I do like a dependable pedal.

Many thanks for your help chaps. I look foward to joining you soon

PS I've also posted this in the Golf Mk5 section but this place seems to have more action
