Welcome to the site!
Sounds like you got it covered. Can we see some photos? Why not start another project?

depends on what you want from the car...the gt28 kits are nice and are still good for Daily driving...i think they make about 400 chp

In Billings, I must have seen your car at some point, post some pics with an intro
You have stage 2 tuning - do you have all the supporting mods? I.E. TIP, DV, high flow cat or test pipe, FMIC...
It sounds like you have most, 4bar FPR, intake, exhaust...but I would for sure get them all to get the most from your tune before going to the next step.
A K04 is a bolt on mod with those supporting mods, but any more than that and you really should look at building up internals and beef up your driveline. A tune with a BT (big turbo...GTxx series) would shred the clutch, axles and puts enough power at the crank to start bending conrods and breaking cranks etc.

I.E. is not a piece of hardware or a mod...

TIP is a turbo inlet pipe - the stock part is restrictive, and the internal ribbing causes the air passing through it to be turbulent. So your CAI sucks more air, but it's still bottle-necked at the TIP. Kinda like having a big glass of water and a small straw; bigger straw will get you more water.
A silicone will be less restrictive and is smooth inside. Samco makes a great aftermarket part.
I guess what I'm getting at is to get all the supporting mods for your current tune, then go from there.
