Well, depends on budget, here's some options.
Bigger turbo, maybe a hybrid
Induction kit
bigger injectors (with bigger fuel pump too)
Uprated internals (and clutch to deal with more power)
Link ECU (fully mapable) so that the ECU can be mapped to take into account the mods.
Raise the boost a bit (prob best to do with the Link)
you could also go for front mount intercooler.
It really does depend on your budget.
Oh, and to be completely honest, before increasing the power I'd sort the brakes and suspension out, so you know that the car can handle the power. No point in havinh a 300 bhp car if it can't go round corners or stop!

Thats sweet.
Right i have 4 pots on the front and to at the rear.
Should i go for 6 pots in the front and drop the 4 to the back.
What kind of suspension you on about, do you mean lowering springs or the actull adjustable struts.
Cheers
Bruv.
Gotta budget of £4k at the moment.
so brakes n sprigs will cost about 1500 quid right.
Turbo about 1000 if its a bolt on one.(gotta a friend going to japan for a couple of weeks hes gonna try to get me some parts from there i.e. Blitz n HKS mainly) So I might get a HKS Gt turbine for about 1000 hopefully.
But i dont know if it will a straight bolt on one as the one i have at the moment is very small.
Cheers
for the info so far.

Biggy, first thing you want to do is remove the supersh!t chip, and get yourself something like the ECUTec or Link. These will allow 'PROPER' control of the fuelling and ignition.
Get yourself an uprated fuel pump and fuel pressure reg. Upping the pressure can save of getting bigger injectors.
What sort of power do you want to get?
Brakes will be fine as they are. No real need to go up to 6 pots.
Suspension, cant recommend anything.
£4K, would best be spent on.
1, ECU
2, Uprated fuel pump and pressure regulator
3, Front mount intercooler.
4, Fiting
There's about £4k spent, nice and easy.
