Different ecu, daughter board chip? Sounds like the previous owner didn't have a clue and took you for a ride! If it is kicking out 230bhp and hasn't had been tuned, (i.e. had the boost raised) then for the year, even with a decat, that is bang on the money. Make sure you're not being led up the garden path by your 'expert', because, no offense, I would say that you sound as if you are a bit easily led anyway! And from personal experience, I would ditch the induction kit in favour of a standard airbox and uprated panel filter. You WILL reduce intake temps giving a better scope for tuning. Many scooby engines go bang due to high intake temps. You asked for advise so I am giving it!
Check out the filtration test results in the link below. Wouldn't want all that crap going in my engine!

I know if I'd just bought a car on the premise that it had 280-290 BHP (as you quoted in your first post) and found out that it was only 230 BHP... I'd be pretty miffed.
Just get a proper ecu and get it mapped
