Welcome to the forums!
As crazy as some of our beetles are as soon as you mention the P-word prices skyrocket. If budget is a concern, and knowledge is limited, keep things on the down low until you gain more experience. Beetles are great cars for beginning modders and mechanics to learn with. I'd suggest keeping with beetle bits for now because they're a lot cheaper and no serious mods are necessary.
Like N0_H20 says start with narrow front springs, stiffer rear torsion bars, and a cup brace. I say add a front disc kit or 4 wheel disc kit to your list early on to replace the stock drums. Also before you go crazy with a big type 4 build a mild type 1 (easy and very cheap) good for about 150hp and see how you like it. It doesn't take much to make a light car fast. Hopefully we'll get to see some pics of your progress.
