I need a new alarm in the S2 as the old one is getting a little confused. Going to spend a weekend with the car in bits doing some stereo stuff and removing both the old alarms and fitting a new alarm to my satisfaction.
Anyone got any suggestions. Current thinking is Cobra 8188 / 8186 or Toad Ai606.

If you want something a bit more exotic consider the cliffords as you can then install the Blackjax system:
Blackjax [ back to top ]
Carjacking Response & Vehicle Recovery System
BlackJax is Clifford’s unique anti-carjacking response system that puts personal safety first while using innovative advancements to ensure that users can recover the vehicle themselves. If an armed car thief approaches – whether at a stoplight or in a parking lot (where most carjackings occur) – immediately turn over the keys and remote and let Clifford technology take over.
BlackJax is fully automatic: no buttons or transmitters to push when a gun is involved. Just get away from the vehicle. BlackJax allows the criminal to drive away a safe distance. Then, a few seconds later, BlackJax blares the siren and flashes the lights to alert other drivers and witnesses. It then pulses down the ignition system to safely force the vehicle to slow to a complete stop. Siren blaring and lights flashing, unable to restart the engine, the carjacker has no choice but to abandon the vehicle.
BlackJax offers immediate vehicle self-recovery. With the vehicle immobilized a short distance away, the owner can recover it. No special tracking units, monthly fees or per-use charges. Just follow the sound of the BlackJax siren, then enter the PIN code. That’s it – it’s sabotage-proof. The only way to turn off BlackJax is with a secret user-selectable PIN code. If the carjacker tries guessing codes at random, BlackJax actively ignores his code entries for the next few minutes. Even if he were to find and remove the BlackJax control unit, he would still be unable to restart the engine. That’s Clifford technology you can count on.
I got an AI606 for £85 + del last week off ebay, arrived quickly and made it's way to the cupboard of "bits to do". Have to find someone to fit it now, because I cannot be trusted.

It might not be a 5 pot or an S2... but at least I have a 20v Turbo in my life again.
Anyone got an idea of what I should expect to pay to have this fitted?
Only quote so far is £170.

I've fitted a pretty simple alarm to a Golf before and it took a day to remove the old stuff and fit new. Assuming it's about 5-6hours labour for someone that knows what they're doing then £170 is about £30 per hour.
