Default What next?

I'm at a point with my car where I don't know what to do next. My spec at the min is standard 4x4 head with bd14 inlet, 200 block proper long studded, cosworth racing forged pistons with valve cut outs, standard crank, grey injectors, t34.63
What do you think I should do next? I was thinking change the turbo for something else or headwork etc. where do you think my money would be best spent and on what? I would like it a little less laggy as I prefered how it drove with the .48 housing

Head work, Nice flowing big valve head would be good money spent as a turbo is less effort to fit, you know one you have the head done you will have a good solid engine

Borg turbo seems the way to go, I am doing this with modern ecu (vipec) , new loom coil on plugs and then add a close ratio box to keep it all on song.... I think head work will release more power but not sure on the low down side of things.....if you preferred the smaller turbo then the Borg is the first start as it will out spool and out power the smallest t34.

I've been looking at gt30's but didn't know which one as there was many different ones lol my t34 has been on there for 8yrs and I think it's getting a bit tired. What would I gain from a gt30 over a t34?
