Default Miata 1.6 gt2554r dyno - how to get to 220whp

Had the Miata on dyno and it made 211 hp (crank). Wondering how to get to 220whp.
Should be possible on a safe manner, but what is needed. do I need a full 3" exhaust, coil on plugs, or more boost?

Miata na 1992 1.6
Kraken full turbo kit gt2554r, 3" downpipe, fmic, 700cc bosch, ms3 basic.

Running 0.9 bar boost, 17° degrees.

Seems down on power just a little bit or low reading dyno. Did you do a virtual dyno as you are in NL and at sea level, should be pretty accurate.

Is this the 90 or 116hp base model?
What fuel?
Did it have a timing belt job and is there a possibility to be a tooth off?
Stock cat and pee shooter exhaust after downpipe?

You can turn it up just a little more, if you are on 98+ octane.

Thanks for thinking along!
​​​​​Its a 116hp base model (california 1992).
Timing belt was changed by Mazda dealer, so I would guess its done properly.
Its running euro 95 (e10), which could be changed to euro98 but I dont want to (unfair expensive).

And yeah, exhaust is stock after downpipe and flex part. I wonder if changing to a sport catalyst and 2.5/3" catback would improve things a bit.

Dyno is a Dynostar. Few years back I was told this is one of the few in NL which is properly calibrated.

Stock cat aswell?
If yes: A free flowing system/cat with 2,5" will give you a good bit of power and spoolup. The stock pipe is like 45-50mm with a 400 cell cat. Are you allowed to run universal/aftermarket cats and mufflers?​​​​
95 E10 is the least knock resistant fuel we have. 98 would also help to make some power, but if it's way more expensive, I would skip that, too and live with the power you have right there, must be plenty of fun

Thanks for the advice.
After downpipe and flex part, all is stock.

Currently looking at a 200cells cat and 2.5" catback. Or should I go 3" all the way? Hope this helps to squeeze the last bit of power out.

3" won't hurt, but at this power level 2,5" is absolutely fine.
