Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but an ME7 T5 70 (S/V/C) series is never going to give you a proper old school 'turbo shove' as the ECU map is too progressive, coupled with the electronic throttle body & an auto box will only ever deliver smooth power. Plenty of it. But smoothly.

If you want the : '..foot down. 1k RPM..wait for it 2K RPM...wait for it ...3K RPM....whoooosh...arrf.torque steer/wheel spin/massive grin.....4k RPM pulling, 5k Pulling....6K pulling,world going blurry.....dip clutch, change up..and repeat (on a private road obviously)...buy an 850 T5 manual.

However as others have mentioned, change all the vacuum lines, the boost control solenoid & the rest of a stage zero, most of which you've already done by the sounds of it, and that will ensure you have as close to 240 hp as possible!
