That said, though, the ECU will be able to control the fuel duty more finely with smaller injectors/upped pressure, than with just bigger injectors alone. The FPR-only route should give you slightly better fuel economy off boost and smoother low-speed running

Surely it'll be a lot less hassle to replace your std injectors with 550cc ones for 350bhp, no? A lot less hassle/time/expense (unless you're prepared to fit the FPR yourself obviously).

Ah cool. Best of all worlds. You'll have the potential to go beyond 350bhp I would have thought? Do you have a FMIC, as it'll be the TMIC that will be the limiting factor?
EDIT: I see you've mentined 350+

Yes, then turbo will be the weak link... However just seen your profile and I see you're gonna rectify that with a 20G and a Simtek . That's good, cause you can then go MAFless (excellent for engine safety, therefore, peace of mind) but, moreover, the MAF would have been a limiting factor too.
But you now don't have to worry about all of that.
With the 20G and Simtek added, you'll surely be knocking on the door of 400bhp, should you want, yes?
