Talking P1 engine upgrades

Been thinking about getting rid of my P1 but the other option at the back of mind was to do daft stuff to the engine and and drivetrain and try and upgrade it all.

Currently have a Tek3 remap, GGR sports cat system, Walbro fuel pump and K&N57i induction, all mapped by BRD.

Looking for some advice/opinions really.....at the moment considering a FMIC, new turbo, engine strengthening, clutch, suspension.....
Would folks mind giving me some recommendations on makes and parts at all? Thinking HKS or AP for the FMIC, not sure on the turbo: AndyF is it? TD 05/06 hybrid? Can't remember.
AP clutch. Powerstation suspension.
What about pistons etc for the engine? What's best? Also what about management - is Ecutek ok or should i be looking at Link/MoTec etc?

Lots of questions, so little clue : D All advice gratefully received!

What do you want to achieve first? ie Track day special, or road car tuned to the hilt; what sort of power are you looking for & have you a budget in mind?

Looking to produce tuned up road car that would be useable as a daily driver if necessary. Figures in the mid to high 300s would be an ultimate target although I'd want it to be "safe" power first and foremost. I don't want to be worrying all the time about it blowing itself up Budget-wise probably about £5-6k

Cheers James, I'll do that thanks! Saw your car on the SpecR stand at CC Rally Day the other weekend - looking very nice
