What chip is it?? What boost does it run?

You will ideally need a better Intercooler and a Stage 3 Turbo to move on with the car. It will then need a good set-up.

A Piper 285T2 would be a good mod too.

get a big grs/pro alloy, cam,and a boost rise and a setup might get it close to 200bhp if not over that
