should be good for 230 with those mods and standard SMIC although as said heatsoak is noticeable when driving hard.
had 233bhp and 240ft/lb with the SMIC, torque increased to a peak of 265ft/lb with the FMIC on the same map.
if you are planning on changing the intercooler then do it before having a remap. I fitted the FMIC after mapping and while there is more torque the extra pipe work has caused lag which I'm positive can be reduced by mapping to suit.
THS/Forge are the best option and aside from trimming the standard bumper are a very good fit
