Have it ECUTEK remapped and you can bin the manual controller unless you want to add a electronic one. but for your level of tune it really isn't needed.

Around £500 for a remap and you should see 320BHP ish providing it has the STI turbo

My map was done by Mark at Thwaites m8
http://www.thwaitesdevelopments.co.uk/
Give him a bell, hes a top chap

Dont know about the adjustable boost, dont use one, ask Mark he will point you in the right direction.

The main advice i can give you is Dont get wrapped up with wanting more and more "bits", just enjoy driving it.. I fell into that trap and spent a small fortune!
