If you looking for 400bhp then rods will be needed at the least,then gt series turbo i would have thought,then manifold all the stuff to fit the turbo and a good map and probably bigger injectors that the greens.
Would also get a better intercooler.

FMIC
Downpipe, sports cat... High Flow exhaust
New Injectors
Big Turbo

Would be quite expensive I reckon - plus if you were running that stuff you'd then need:

Coil-overs or decent damper spring set up
Top quality tyres
New ARB's Front and Back
Brake upgrade
LSD

Will be awesome.. will cost ya tho!

Im at 303bhp at 1.1 bar at the moment but AFR's are still out so could probably see 300bhp at 1 bar boots and maybe 340/350 running 20psi ish.

gt series is the garret turbos 2871r might flow 400bhp but not to clued up on them to be fair mate,Tim williams is running 400bhp sure pm him about it,he should clue you up on it.

Erm, transmission anyone?

Don't rate the standard kit's chances of transferring that sort of power for very long, if indeed at all.....!!

Your running a m59 box same as me, some people think the lsd/locking diff on them is the weak point and prefer to go with a m56 and quaffie set up with bigger power, but until you try you dont know so stick with what you got and if it gives up go down the other route, no need spending unless you have to.
