I would put a cat back jetex stainless exhaust, and get it remapped.

The VSR will give you much larger amount of low down torque, it won't give you anymore power overall.

That takes care of the manifold, what about the supercharger?

You can get the storm developement Rotrex supercharger kit with a 10psi pulley for 1500. You would still need to make boost piping, and get it mapped, but it would almost double the power output.

In the pic above, the manfifold that is schrick costs £1000 alone. haha!
