decent exhaust(mongoose or magnex)
chip
cam(piper or newman)
front mount intercooler(pro alloy or grs)
could go bigger turbo if you like for closer 200bhp

180bhp is piss easy.

Chip
Exhaust
Air filter
Bleed valve
Proper set up and you should be pretty damned close. Mine made just a smidge over 180bhp with this setup

a t34 will need new down pipe and some fitting! worth doin tho! but mainly for big boost jobs!

like oranoco said 180 is fairly easy! if thats all ya wanna go for forget the big intercoolers! a half size pave one will be more than enough!

chip,zorst,intercooler,air filter and some boost! a few people dont like bleed valves! but thats upto you and your tuner!

where you from?!

Same mods as i have apart from the bleed valve. 182 bhp, might be a tad more as the tuner recomended silcon hoses & had a weak actuator, but now have changed all that.
