keep a proper std dumpvalve, maybe a nice brake setup don't spoil the rest if its running nicely.

No reason why it shouldn`t be reliable so long as it`s up to temp before coming on boost and regular maintance as with all perormance turbo cars.

What has already been done to it and what do you want to do with it?
My crystal ball is broken so we need some idea as its a very random question with so many different answers, its like saying there is salt in the sea, but how much salt is there?

If it's had a VTA dumpvalve fitted, fist job is to put the recirculating one back on

And yes, I am serious

And if your worried about it blowing up, sell it now as you have just admitted the fun has been taken away!

You can't enjoy a car your constantly worrying about, I'm running 453hp on a standard newage jdm engine with an lm450 conversion and it gets driven if it breaks it breaks, no good sitting there worrying or you may as well leave it on the drive

Ignore the commoners in type r's P1s are best as the look better and are faster as standard

Seriously though.
Before you uprate power sort handling and brakes as this will actually make your car faster from point A to B

What brakes do you have now? You can get a huge variety of brakes but you can't go wrong with, Alcons, AP's, Brembos etc
Your talking about £800 up to about £2k depending on what you want
