Tbh easiest is a set of 803 Green injectors, -31 actuator and a MSD Stg 3 Evo Chip.

Will give more power than the GGR setup imo.

only way to get a good power gain is a managment change or wait for the MSD map package to be finished.

a managment change is not cheap, look around £1500-£2000 for Omex, my car runs an Omex 600 ecu, it needs an actuator as its not holding boost that well, it still pulled 405bhp last week though, will be more like 450 again soon.
