If nothing else everybody has different opinions lol. That amount of money can be better distributed between other things in your case instead of so much on an ecu that wont really benefit you any more than a ecutek map with what your running. Definetly a turbo is required in my opinion before you even look at an aftermarkey ecu.

ecutek remap is £550+VAT
you would need to change the turbo - vf23, vf24, vf28, vf29, vf34*, vf35* to get beyond 280bhp.. it was probably low bhp to start with as it will det on the 2.5 and the ecu will be pulling timing to keep the engine hopefully safe.

The money i'm spending on duncans services is 4 figures.
If i go down the tdo5 route with ecutek on my existing ecu will these figures in money be the same value and also the difference in power figures if i say 270 with tdo4 what should i see with tdo5 and ecutek ?

But best turbo as upgrade is VF35(which cost around 250£ here) and you will need injectors and fuel pump,and probably you will see 330-340BHP.

Standard injectors are fine to 330bhp
The problem with td05 is that the market is flooded with chinese copies and a proper front entry td05 will be too much or difficult to be sure it is a genuine one. Hence vf turbos better choice and more modern turbo with better throttle response.
White turbo blades could mean it is lean but plugs will give true indication
