Air filter dont know make yet... will stick some pics up so someone can tell me.
Stainless exhaust system from cat back
Dump valve...again pictures coming soon so someone help me out with the make.








Any suggestions on what to do next ?

Drive it and enjoy it.

If you do want more power in the future a simple remap and uprated fuel pump should see 270-280bhp.

if the air filter is an induction kit you may want to consider refitting original box with an uprated panel filter.

The induction kit will be sucking in hot air from the engine bay and reducing power as a result. It may also be affecting how the car handles fueling.

The std airbox will probably net you more power than an induction kit if you replace the std paper air filter element in it with a good aftermarket one such as K&N/Green or Cosworth.
