just wondering what i could possibly do for this power increase, would also like to be a bit pocket friendly as would anyone else lol.

current setup

stock 2.0 zetec
tdo5h 14b w/ 16g compressor    at 9psi
ebay bov
32x9x3 fmic
4-1 equal length manifold
2000 intake manifold
blitz dual spec boost controller
42# injectors
pro M MAF
K&N intake
motocraft step 1 colder plugs
bosch wires
ford racing thermostat
2.5 borla exhaust

The turbo back exhaust I sold you with the car is 2.5" already. You wont get much more power in current form going to a full 3".

If your looking for 280 whp, you will need to build that block and run more than 9psi. That turbo should easily get you to 280whp with 14-15psi. Once you are at this point, a 3" Turbo back exhaust will help.

Build the block if you want reliable horsepower. If you dont and run anything more than 12psi, your going to keep popping engines.
