you should realy have it mapped now, although im running 262bhp on the same car with fmic, apexi induction, walbro fuel pump and de-catted exhaust. but its a great risk so i dont drive it on boost while i get i mapped. im going for a apexi power fc

to get any further the turbo will need to be upgraded and the fuel pump. once you get that done then your gearbox is next on the list

as others have said you need to get the car remapped which in your case means an aftermarket ecu apexi or simtec . i had the same problem owning a 98 car . i went for an apexi with 550 injectors , ramair induction kit, full decat, fmic and kept the td04that came fitted to the car as standard . then had paul blamire (zen performance) map it, end result was a car that was pulling 285bhp and 290ft/lbs torque

it drove like a differant car pulled a lot better ,smoother and i knew it was safe to give it a kicking from time to time .

hope this helps
