Default want more power with turbo mods

Hi guys, i'll keep it simple i have a blobeye sti with the following -

prodrive sports cat
milltek cat back
fuel pump

The car made 330/330 on rcm rollers but now i want more power but the catch is i cant modify the turbo due to the insurance saying its a no go. I have read about tubular manifolds adding some more torque but is there anything else i could add with them like injectors? I know the standard air box will be good for 350bhp and the car had a genuine Subaru filter in during the remap.

Thanks

well as it stands for remap, exhaust, upgraded discs/pads, suspension changes and a few exterior mods they have charged £450 extra. I know it doesn't help being under 30 but its starting to annoy me abit now.
They usually have a limit on what they will insure though and if its not on the system its a no go, for example they wouldn't insure a dump valve, my thinking is because they have no idea what it is so said no.
