Default what next??

i've been working my *** off last few months and using the p1 as daily driver so lost a bit of the 'feel' of driving her, but recently got another car for our daily stuff and took part in a drag race which gave me a bit of a kick back in the mood. the car was pretty well tuned when i got it but now i just want MORE POWER!! heres a wee spec list;

Model: Subaru Impreza P1
Year: 2001
Description:
2001 Subaru Impreza P1 #636 / 1000
Modifications:
Engine :
Miltek exhaust
Miltek sports cat
Hybrid vf34 turbo
HKS front mount intercooler
k&n induction kit
Nismo 550cc injectors
walboro fuel pump
roger clark GT-spec headers
roger clark GT-spec Up-pipe
samco turbo inlet hose
ECUTEK 3 remap by PowerStation
on warranty engine replacement by PowerStation

Drivetrain:
Powerstation strengthened gearbox
Exedy Racing Origanic clutch
Ligthen OE flywheel

rolling road'd at 364bhp

its only mapped at 1.25 bar boost so theres a bit more give there but since i live on a sh1tty wee island off the north of scotland a remap is quite a few quids worth away. i got hold of a gizzmo ibc boost controller off ebay but i'm a bit reluctant to fit it without a bit more experise.

so what now?? where do i go from here and should i fit this boost controller or not?

with boost at 1.25 bar i'm thinking increasing it is the best way forward, but how much is safe??

i got a vf23 on mine an mapped at 1.4 bar. id think these being later developed they shud handle that sought of boost but somebody else would know but the vf maxes around 350 to 370 i think so id think a new bigger turbo will get u up the power range quicker
