save for the prodrive kit (cira 2K) and get it fitted by the local dealer - if it goes bang and its still as they fitted it, they pay.
If you do do something, its not worth doing one bit without the other as your'll loose balance (may gain bhp but loose torq' vis-a-vers).
Any way that's my 1 pennies worth.

I ran 362 on mine at a max of 1.6 bar on standard internals.
I know of one car thats run 400 - 405 safely on standard internals, 355 is top on standard turbo with ECU, FMIC, Dump valve, Fuel Pump etc. Fit a bigger turbo than the standard turbo and run lower boost but get the airflow to achieve 400
