you already have 440cc injectors, they tend to max out at about 330bhp
When I looked into it, it was rare for a VF28 to make 350bhp, it has been done, but not by many,
Have a look at my plus profile for an idea on specs of my old car, got 309bhp.
I picked up a good condition VF28 recently for £150
Have you thought about a VF35, excellent write up here on a uk car with a FMIC:

440's are on the uk classics, 380's are on the bugeye uk models.
I had a vf28 on my99 classic running 320bhp and it made power to the redline. Awesome car, however, I now have a bugeye with a VF30 and 550's getting remapped on the 20th. Hoping to see 350bhp. If it pulls anywhere near my old classic, I'll be a happy man.

At the end of the day changing from a TD04 to a VF turbo will be quite a big difference. The main thing is that you are happy with the way it drives.

You will need to convert a TD05-16g to FE, but that would be my personal choice for a turbo.
Very capable units. Think about your gearbox before you use them to their potential.
440s are fitted as standard - they might be at the limit for 350bhp (even with uprated FPR).
