Default want more power without 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

I presume it's already been mapped at that power - Get The mapping adjusted for 20% methanol. You'll see good gains everywhere.

A drum of meth and a decent mapper.

I'd also have a word with moleywrx on here about insurance.

You could also whip the turbo off and have it ported and billeted as well as Harvey headers and up pipe.

So true, but 95% of people get the royal hump if you suggest their driving is anything other than a cross between Senna and Ken Block.

Decent brakes and a well set up car will help considerably too.

i have in the past and sky wouldn't touch M/SK postcodes and cant remember fully with k.Michaels. Im tied to a mirrored ncb policy at the minute so will have to put up with it for a few months i think.
No i agree with the comments about brakes and suspension mods but on the road that's not really possible
