I think you will find ported headers far better suited to your power level and they will spool far earlier than tubular and produce more torque right across the rev range. The area under the graph on ported headers will be greater than with tubular and that is what makes the car quick across country.
Harvey on here did a special deal for me as I bought ported headers and got a tube and fin Hybrid intercooler from him which is far better than the bar and plate. It arrived the day after I sent the Paypal and he keeps these in stock.

agree and on the choice of turbo , i made just short of 350bhp with similar mods to yours but with a vf34
and only tek3 , but you obviously need an aftermarket so why not go straight for a simtec . 1045 + vat fitted and mapped with anti-lag and launch control , or £150 cheaper if you don't want ALS or LC

Ported headers will increase the boost by 2-3 psi anyway but that is not the important thing. It is the area under the graph that counts. Just ask anybody else with ported headers.
Kylejennings05: I also suggest you think about PFR7B plugs.

Having been where you are now a couple of years ago i would advise the following.
Tubular Headers, VF34, fuel pressure Reg, simtek ecu.
My reasoning is simple. The VF34 is an excellent turbo and with supporting mods and correctly mapped will achieve 350bhp.
I would say a fuel reg is essential as my standard reg failed with a walbro.
It allowed too much fuel back to the tank and resulted in a cylinder running lean and wrecking the engine.
As mentioned if you are going to the Expense of a Power FC and an AVCR then you'd be better off getting the simtek.
I currently have the PFC/AVCR combo and I want to be swapping to Simtek too purely because I want rid of the maf sensor and I want the ALS, Launch Control and switcheable MAF options.

I also have a 1998 UK Turbo.
This is what I did to mine.

Daz; Having had tubular headers and swapped them for ported with matched uppipe the difference was unbelievable. 1 bar in 4th @3150 instead of 3600. hat was the only change.
Spark plugs NGK PFR7B Better than standard.

Have to agree with steve on this.
I too have a rotated GT30R now and I'm seeing 1 bar at around 3000rpm.
The VF34 I had was on UK heads too. It was a great turbo and the headers improved things no end without any noticeble loss of spool.
I think turbo lag is a myth in some cases. My GT30 feels no lagier than when I had the VF34 on the 2.0L with standard UK heads.
I've no doubt that the ported standard manifol is very capable but I honestly think the GTspec tubular manifold is in a different league.

Steve; Where your gt30r r makes1 bar is totally irrelevant. I dont run the same turbo.
All I changed was the tubular gt spec headers for ported o/e with matched uppipe so you are not making sense saying
"I dont think the headers were your problem"
Lots of people have found that good ported headers outperform tubular well over 400bhp on a 2 litre.
Is your car 2 litre and what bhp.
"Ported headers will always limit your cars power"
Bollocks. Not up to 400 odd bhp on a 2litreas lots ofpeeps on here already know.
