You DO! have a UKDM 208bhp Turbo 2000!!! - the "K" indicates this.
Can you post a pic of your car's exteior/interior/engine - that will be enough to determine what turbo you should have fitted (assuming nothing's been modified so as to alter it's MY visual identity).

You defo have a ph.1 MY96. So it should have a TD05H 16g fitted - the best option of the 2 turbos mentioned, with a 350bhp potential! 
To confirm if it's a UKDM... If you look at your instrument binnacle, from left to right, can you tell me what the 4 dials are? Does the speedo dial go up to "160"
Also, does the centre dash area have the "Bright" button?

Just went and had a look, Left to right - temp,revs,speed,fuel. It goes to 160mph and it has the bright button under the temp controls. So it will be ok to stick with this turbo for 300-350bhp gains? What mods are worth starting off with? il be getting bit by bit for now.
cheers!

Yep the "K" in the model code, order of dials, speedo markings and bright button do indeed confirm you have a ph.1 MY96 208bhp/201lb ft UKDM Turbo 2000.
You'd need:-
Walbo fuel pump
Cone air filter
Replacement 2.5+ bar MAP sensor
550cc injectors (440s should see 350 potential but would be pretty much rinsed out - best to get 550s)
NGK PFR7B spark plugs
Decat downpipe
Full aftermarket exhaust (centre/back box)
Front mount intercooler (FMIC)
ESL Live or Apexi Power FC or Simtek ECU
When all of the above is fitted/mapped, you're looking at up to 350bhp (if lucky). But expect, typically, 320-340 (with a little less lb ft of torque).

Or, if you don't wanna spend out on all those mods, and instead still keep your exisiting 2.2bar MAP sensor/380cc injectors/panel filter/airbox/TMIC, then you should see up to 280bhp and similar lb ft - that's still a fab increase of c.70bhp or some 35% over stock!

The cone filter/injectors/decat/FMIC (and ECU) would all need to be fitted last - ideally before the day of the map. These items, once fitted, HAVE to be mapped ASAP, as they will have right leaned out the air-fuel mixture!
If you find you can't avoid driving after they're fitted, then keep off boost (if you have a gauge fitted make sure it never gets out of -ve inlet manifold pressure i.e. showing no more than 0 bar/psi).

Okidokie! cheers....What do you think about this polar performance chip? I was looking at getting the ecu with PP chip already fitted. So then I guess its just straight swap with the ecus? and 30-50bhp gains. Its pretty cheap to thats why im wondering if I should get this first as ive got the cash to get it now....

Yes, I had the PP chip too, at first (as have many others). As you say, if you buy a replacement 4-plug ECU with the PP chip pre-installed, then it's a straight swap. I can't remember if, on the UK cars, you have to swap around the pin-outs in the ECU for the cam and crank sensors though... 
It runs 1.1bar (about 60% extra boost than your car currently runs!) and you'll defo notice it!
If you fit a Walbro, PFR7B plugs, decat and system, then it should make anywhere between 260-290, typically.
FTR, the chip's been designed around Esso Supreme 97... but any 97+ RON fuel is fine to use...
