TII 91 Power Upgrade Recommendations

So I have a 1991 Turbo II that I have upgraded the suspension (RB springs and sway bar with Tokico 5 way Illuminas), brakes (EBC rotors, Series7 front callipers, EBC pads, steel goodridge hoses), rebuilt gearbox, Series 7 Torsen LSD diff.
300bhp Clutch.
Runs on standard size wheels with Yoko AVS sports.

I want the car to look standard, no body kit rubbish, and it is my road car ( I have a race 12a '82 for track work). It already has teh Cat removed and a slighly larger than standard Exhaust system and I don't want it to make ridiculous amounts of noise...its already a bit too loud to be truly legal here in UK.
I think that about 250 at the rear wheels is enough, so thats about 280 at the flywheel.

The engine is good but needs a refresh:
(From 70mph; full bore acceleration to terminal stays with a 2005 Porsche Carrera S)
What would you guys recommend to achiece my 'modest' aims!

I am looking for the same sort of power, as far as I can tell, the easiest way to acheive this sort of power reliably is with an aftermarket computer and a larger turbo (be a high flow standard turbo) it goes without saying the supporting mods are also required (bigger fuel pump, better IC (im personally looking at a W/A option), and maybe bigger secondaries)

off topic:
how does your car handle with the suspension bits? that is what I am currently looking at upgrading. How does it compare to your Gen1?

For UK road use its a little too hard. The springs are 15% harder and 3/4" lower than standard, the sway bar is much stiffer. I run the Tokico's at 2/5 setting.
Its very predictable and vastly superior to standard car but I have also replaced all the bushes (taken the rear steer out) and top mounts.

The car car is a completely different kettle of fish. It would be unusable on the road with 350lb/200lb F/R and steel ball joints. The suspension is largely standard layout, but heavily worked on.
