you cant "tune" an ERST to 210bhp wish it was that simple

your gonna need to chip it, get a better IC, hybrid turbo, uprated plugs/leads, lower compression, cam etc etc. you get the idea
unless of course you have these bits?

around your area speak to SCC

Matey for 200 bhp (roughly) ull need chip £300 , big intercooler £300 , cam/pulley £300 , stage 2 hybrid £550 , plugs and leads £70 , stainless exzaust system £300 , setting up £60-£150 , for money and general hassle i would really think about forgetting low comps and even hybrid turbo ( if your turbo is ok) and go for a good reliable set up with 14-18psi of boost and your talking 180-(200bhp) just a thought , but for complete reliability and more power go for a fancy head , and low comps and add a extra£700-£1000 and this is all labour free
