Default Opinions please

Am thinking of changing the housing on my turbo to.63 was going to change turbo to a T38 but fancy keeping my gear box lol, was also thinking of changing the injectors to siemens 55's. and also thinking of putting a swedish plenum and air injectors on cos i quite like the look of them lol. Was just wondering what sort of power difference this would make if any. And would i have to change the chip ?
The current spec is

Brodie Britain Racing engine conversion
BBR Gas flowed,ported and polished head
BBR Le mans fast road cams
Ported and polished inlet matched to head
throttle body matched to inlet
T34.48,360 roller bearing,cut back blades
lightened and balanced bottom end
full twin system magnex
dark green injectors
BBR chip
pectal software
forge dump valve
GRPA breather system
RS500 intercooler
standard radiator
alloy turbo cooler
tarcel header wiv aeroquip fittings
swirl pot
Car was live mapped by Karl Norris and is guestimated at running between and 350-370 bhp

Cheers

my engine is similar spec except t34/63 turbo and live mapped. the car is dax rush 4wd (800kg) and i thought the std box would be ok given the lower weight and i dont do launches etc. now on its third!.

both times its gone when changing up to third. SO... i bought a TT T38 as i was advised this would reduce the torque spike around 4-5k (with more power later).

there you are - you're worried about wrecking the mt75 by getting a T38 and i bought a t38 to save it!

oh - I'm sure you'll need a nw chip as well
