I'd go for... 2.5 or 3' exhaust, turbo back, you can with go for a sports or de-cat depending on budget etc. you also need a de-cat up-pipe, try Alyn at ASPerformance for a set of 'Harvey' ported headers and matched up-Pipe. Stick to a decent panel filter (K & N or Cosworth) and avoid induction kits. Swap the fuel pump for a Walbro or similar 225l version and get it remapped! Also get some 7 grade plugs in (correctly gapped)
Also worth considering a 3 port boost solenoid, not always required but some cars appear to need them to hold the raised boost effectively. This should see you around 270bhp.
My stage 1 was done at powerststion as well but since all my mapping has been done by JGM and BlueBugEye is spot on, I went for a sports cat just saves messing about at mot time and I don't seemed to of lost much with it, it's a H&S one and been on about 7 years.
If it helps I have a near new Cosworth filter as I went FMIC for £15.
