The stock block you'll have in that one will be the 2319cc version, meaning the bores should cope with 350bhp. However - being pre 2003, it won't have the uprated bottom end. If it's mapped properly, it should be fine but if it brings the boost in too early, or you get a spike below 3k rpm, you'll be risking the rods.
Or, just don't floor it until after 3-3500k rpm.
