A load index of 83 is recommended for the tyres by VW, so you'll be fine. I've got Michelin PS3's on mine as well - rate them highly. Well worth the extra cost over some other brands IMO.

+1 on the Michelin PS3s. They're around £120 fully fitted at Black Circles. Plus you get Tesco Clubcard points (!).

You can just remove all the secondary air system, it makes the engine bay look better and easier to work on :)

Yeah, you can buy a forge blanking plate for the side of the engine and you have to cover up the hole in the side of your air box, but your getting rid of yours so that one doesnt matter.
This should give you a good enough guide, although all you do it take all the stuff of your engine and blank the hold up...
