With a proper safe tune your power goal should be reached. I'm not a tuner, so not sure on those fuel mods.
Cooling is everything. So personally I'm not a fan of a FMIC. They reduce radiator efficiency, require a lot of plumbing, and usually compromise the front bumper. They're also exposed to damage from road debris. If you're willing to relocate the battery, there are large and efficient SMICs with good ducting available, or even better, a VMIC.

Thanks. the FMIC was allready on the car when i got it.
the battery is relocated to the backseat, so I have space for a VMIC but have to consider the mony aspect to

No worries about your English, it appears your grammar and manner of speech are better than most here in the states

As far as the mods list is, I think you'll be above 400hp with that setup. I'm not too sure about the T66's capabilities as turbocharger terminology is a bit beyond my current understanding, but the rest looks good. The only weakness I can find is the fuel lines. If you are planning to use two Walbro 255's (they have 5/16" or 8mm barbs on them), I think it would be wise to upgrade to an 08AN feed line to not restrict flow. The return line can be stock or 06AN, whichever suits your build better.

To put it in perspective, the original fuel line are 8.0mm ID, for an area of approx. 50.27 square millimeters. 08AN lines are 12.7mm ID, for an area of 126.68 square millimeters. For the same length, the 08an has over double the volume of the stock lines.
