its really a job for a pro tuner on a dyno mate, unless you just want a "she'll be right" job, you could just throw a blanket trim over the injector dwell (i dont recomend this)

make your first expense your last mate

providing you can keep the fuel up to it, there is no limit realy,limiting factor is always gonna be fuel supply

One thing to keep in mind before you go shelling out your hard erned green, any tuner worth half a pinch of shit (backyarders like myself included) will extrapolate the tune past the limit of the map sensor even if the engine never sees that boost level. I would be surprised if your current setup hasn't got at least a basic safe tune to 1bar.
At a minimum though, I would have a mixture meter on it to show if the fuel system is upto the task.

I have to disagree with that last comment. Kane is completely correct, your fueling will limit how far the tune can go, and the tune will limit how much power it will make. The integrity of the standard engine goes well past the ammount of power 95% of the cars on here make.
Keep in mind no amount of tuning can compensate for a fundamental lack of fuel!
