Your power goal can be done fairly easy.

Bigger turbo
Improved exhaust
Higher flow injectors
Chips
And a cam change will get you there.

Upgrading the IC would also be a good move.

Look on my website. Things like injectors and turbo this forum and eBay would be best places to look.

The T3 cam is a great choice of cam to open up the red band on a road car.

'T3' cam sounds similar to a V16 cam, which is nothing to write home about.

Save your money and stick with the stock T cam.

A T cam with some microscopic OEM Misterbitchy turbo with some tiny outlet from the turbine housing has a short power band. However, install a suitably sized turbo and 3" exhaust and it will pull to 7000 arr-pee-ems, whilst still providing unrivalled low end torque.
