junk the interior and sound deadening for a start. it makes a huge difference. trust me. then get on flat 4 online. buy yourself a 2.5 assembled bottom end. has already got uprated internals bolt your heads on cost you about £2.5K, fit a 20g £800 from AFP add a front mount £300 and get it mapped by Zak.
will probably see 360 - 370 bhp, tonnes of torque and be far more driveable than most other things that have the same sort of power.
yvm's black scoob was running those sort of figures with 380 - 400 lbft and pulled like a train. the only car i've been in that kicks more was eb30's. and that's comparing them to ferrari's, lambos, astons etc. power to weight ratio is far more important than just out and out power figures.
take what knowlesy says with a pinch of salt.
did he just drive it and say "that's about xxxbhp" or did he actually have some sort of mapping / data equipment plugged in?
the other thing to look at is handling. since i've had mine set up by zak it feels sooo much faster. straight lines are boring. get it set up properly and you'll enjoy it all over again.

And they are very quick.Your spec for this is a little over simplified, and therefore significantly under costed. Also Gearbox, Brakes, etc are a Must at that performance level.

literally everything. things left to go are spare wheel, sparewheel covering (then remount flamer kit somewhere else), sound deadening, bottom half of dash.
after that all that's left in are the 2 front seats, harnesses, dash, steering wheel, pedals, handbrake.
got a pic some where.
