We are close to being able to remap the standard ECU, which is great for mild power increases. Otherwise, an aftermarket ECU like the Apexi PowerFC is a great choice. Boost Controller and Exhaust/Filter upgrade would also be a good move.

You'll need a bigger turbo and injectors for 400bhp, but thats really pushing your luck on the standard engine, I've known a few to go pop at 400bhp.

Safer to aim for 360-370bhp IMO.

Seeing as you're in Scotland use Sam Ellasar - The Dentist for any power upgrades you want.

you need to go down the forged route realy for 400 bhp but you can get kits very cheap from the usa, infact its silly money (cheap) or get a sroker kit
