I would look into a low restriction exhaust system from one of the aftermarket suppliers first, then give it a complete tune-up, including setting the timing and all that, if you have not already.
As for Chips, the concensus on this forum seems to be staying away from the generic Chips and having someone with experience on tuning these cars make a custom chip for you liking.
Best of Luck

Don't know a thing about shipping overseas ole chap, but a good exhaust shop may also be able to fabricate something up for you.
Also don't know what your emissions regulations are and if your car is set-up differently than a US based model, but regardless, less back pressure than the OEM exhaust will help, esp. with your engine mods.

You will need some type of better exhaust work to get the most power, like headers. Hooker, TPiS, Lingenfelter all make good ones.
As for chips, youll need a custom burn, and i would try http://www.fastchip.com
