After confirming the engine is in good health, you need a stage 1 chip, which can be purchased from MSD etc.

This will allow a higher boost pressure, and around 270-280 HP.

No there will be certain adjustments to make and making sure everything works and is set correctly.They will supply the info you need.
New actuator will probably be needed too.

Just make sure everything is healthy and performing well before you do it.
