Seat time...I agree is the best. If you are going to that anyway. Everything depends on how you want to drive and what you are after. For me it was autocross and Time Trials. Here is what I did.
Race seat and harness: Its interesting how well you can work on actually driving, when you are held securely in a good fitting seat. I got a used set for $200 total.
Suspension: Upgrade your sway bars. A used turbo bar can be had for $100 or so. Konis or Bilstein Sports are great upgrades. From there, a coil over set up for the front with better springs. I picked up a use ground control set up with #350 springs for $120. Or the Weltmeister #250's which fit in the stock perches. I sold mine for $75. Bigger Torsion bars, you can get Porsche specific or locate a good VW supply...the Super Beetle torsion bar is the same fitment as a 944 at half the price.
I have done nothing at all to the engine to modify it. I was at Chuckwalla Raceway last weekend at a Time Trial. Its so satisfying to get a point by from folks in cars with 100+ more HP. :-)
