turbos had mild steel twin exit exhaust as standard mate. No idea what a black chip is
easiest way to up the boost is with a fuel cut defender cicra £17 and a manual boost controller.
try www.tbdevelopments.com mate.

Have a look at the exhaust manifold from turbo- they're shit at standard and a pig to change so your exhaust may only be the system.

160 quid ish will get you a nice decat manifold in a resonable bore.

Dont over boost the turbo's they're ceramics and will burn out.

Good fun cars though - had one for a bit and a mate has had 2 with all sorts of apexi bollocks on em.

Useless for moving furniture about tho

all turbo cars feel diff mate , im used to my s2 running 17 psi on a t3 hybrid that felt realy snappy when it was on boost, iv now got a evo and put a New TD05H big 16G ported turbo on running 0.8 bar and it feels good but very differant to my garret t3 hybrid, the best thing about evo,s or the 0.60 times being under the 5 secs, im running standard boost but 1 bar on a evo should give 290bhp, i would like to have a drive in a turbo mr2 thay must be mad thay should have very good 0.60 times, good luck with it
