You would have to substantially strengthen the internals of the engine to get anywhere near the reliable power you want.Rods and pistons will need upgrading.
Big brakes are one of the first things you should look at,bigger rotors and 4 pot calipers to help stop the beast!All that power is fine,but the standard brakes,even with slotted rotors,wont be able to cope for long!Safety first!!
My suggestion is to start first with an exhaust,K04 turbo with manifold and a chip upgrade to suit.You can get a good 270bhp+ with this setup and it wont break the engine.If you want more power than this (obviously you do) then you must look at internal mods!
