no way
get it done!!!
my classic is getting towards 70k and am just starting on more major engine work!! and on yours i would say only mild tuning (exhaust, decat etc) and a remap will see you nearer 350

Plenty of threads for the 350 - do a search on here. Why would the engine be too tired at 33k? Probably near its peak at the moment, nicely run in.
You can get close to 350 with the std turbo.

I would say that Mods are better done on a higher mileage engine as you can sensibly change the bearings and other items as well as chasing extra BHP
ie. It's more cost effective on a high miler IMO
