You already said what you want to do: refresh the suspension and get more power 
Start with making sure all maintenance is done. I've made a checklist for new owners here: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/a3b4/newcheck.htm
This will do all catch up maintenance. For power, a chip + fuel injector nozzles will give you a lot of power. The clutch may slip so start with a chip and see how you like it. Look thorugh the FAQ section "1000q". There are also suspension writeups, I don't know what kind of ride you would like so call the vendors to ask how the shocks will ride.

Do the suspension first, power is nothing without control of the body.

When I checked it, it was at 0.73mm, which is within the "check range" but I decided to...- 0

Rough idle in reverse only
VW Mk3 Jetta, Passat TDI and other/older dieselsI have a 2009 touareg tdi v6 3.0 54k miles. Perfect service history. It will run rough at start up when cold in any gear. However when I place it in reverse it will vibrate the whole vehicle hard. If you put your foot on brake and give it gas it smooths out. Problem is worse if I shift it into...- 0
