Speak to the Turbo Dynamics about the upgrading to billet or Mark@Lateral Performance,price for upgrade has been £295 plus VAT(which is in total £354)

Its worth to upgrade and speak to your mapper what he thinks about this option,but from most people who done it,is it worth the extra spending on that

Im at work so I cant see the image, but looking at your list and what your planing on doing, I would say a Turbo upgrade (or core upgrade) or take the plunge on going twin scroll 
What headers have you fitted?
Either way as said above, I would be looking at suspension mods. Power is nothing without handling and brakes. Trust me I speak of experience of at least once LOL.
Also to add, I would be tempted to run with 20% meth to help ealry spool and torque.
AND if you are not already I would suggest you use Andrew Carr for the mapping with the Speed Density, then you can have a few maps on the standard ECU (one for meth), assuming your on standard ECU? Also Im not sure what year the map sensors upgraded on the Blobeye, but I think the MY05+ had the better allowing mappers to push more "visible and controlable" boost (stand to be corrected)

As for the turbo comparison, I cant comment on my own experiences but I have been involved in many threads ref this 450bhp subject, and this one most recently I found interesting if that helps? https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...bhp-turbo.html
Be carefull with your choice, and doing what your doing asking for advice is the best bet, there is nothing worse than a laggy 2.0 motor.

It will be laggy at 400 but as you have nor driven anything to compare it with then you won't notice it, but at 450 it will be a dog on a 2ltr with a single scroll turbo, don't go chasing figures as you will end up slower rather than quicker.

Tony is far more knowledgable than myself, but from my experience and Tony's knowledge / experience I would myself be relucatant (now) aiming for anything over 400 on a 2.0 engine without going twin scroll. Ask around in your local club(s) for someone running similat power on twin scroll and ask for a ride out, you'll soon be be re-thinking your route to take.

I have a 05 STI 2ltr running 370bhp 461nm torque these figures are at the wheels so its around the 450 mark at the crank give or take a few bhp
I'm running a owen development turbo 650 injectors greedy frontmount and syvecs ecu the turbo isnt twin scroll
Since the syvecs as been fitted the car now spools at 3500rpm and olds its power well over 7000rpm there are no flat spots and very little lag
Its a good call about the suspension i run EXE-TC coil overs with perrin rear arb drop links stout mounts and adjustable rear arms with out the suspension and brake upgrades you wont be able to use the power to the full
All work as been completed by Tracktive Solutions car set up and mapping by Richard Bulmer and Mat i also run one of there throttle bodies which also improves throttle response
Speak to Richard at Tractive about the Syvecs the ECU make a huge difference over the standard ECU
at 5000rpm my car make 50bhp more on the syvecs than it did on the Ecu-tek map

Without wanting to drift off subject too much, I was talking to Andrew Carr around July time when he mapped my old 2004 STI with Speed Density, and although we achieved 400bhp give or take, I was told there was a little more to come by means of using a later version of the blobeye/hawkeye map sensor.
I was pretty much pleased with what was acheived anyway, and considering what turbo (AF20G) the power was made on, there would only be around 10-15bhp left by the turbo by pushing everything to the limit, and by that I mean, boost, ECU switch, bolt ons, and mapper still using the same turbo. So that for me said that for the set up I was running (early spool) and the blower being almost at its limit, going aftermarket ECU was pretty much pointless without it being part of a all host of upgrades.
Which brings me back to your reply, can you really gain 50bhp by using syvecs rather than the standard ECU supported with by a good mapper? Maybe in your case, but I dont think all cars will see significant benifits especially if the mapper has already exhausted all his skills on the standard ecu before hand?
Just my version of course, but then Im biased as Ive always used AC for my mapping

All you need is downpipe, OEM t/s headers & uppipe, Sump and oil pick up pipe and the turbo of choice and if your changing the turbo anyway you'll get money back for what you take off, Might me be as expensive as you think.
