Would depends on how much boost you could run, for a simple low pressure system something like 50-100 BHP, up to well, depends how much you wanna spend, if you have the £ to run serious boost (£ Bar +) Then 1000BHP wouldn't be supprising.
Theres the 9-3 Viggen pikes peak car, that runs the std saab 2.0 block + head (with big valves etc) and 3bar boost, that's 800BHP at about 8000 RPM, which ain't bad for a 2.0. 0-60 in 2. sumthing seconds is a bit giddy...

how much u reckon a low bar pressure would cost to get and fit looking at pushing it over 300bhp(got 208 atm) 500+ would be nice but expensive u reckon??

Depends on whether you're paying a company to do it, or doing it yourself 'on the cheap'.
I would guess a 'professional' job would be about £3000 ish.
On the cheap, I suppose you could do it got less than a grand, like, a pair of turbos from a scappers, weld up some manifolds, tap a couple of holes into the oil gallery for oil feeds, some holes in the bottom of the block for returns. 3 head gaskets to lower compression. should be ok for 0.3 bar, should see 300 bhp with that...

twin turbo ??? What turbo would be needed and where would do a pro job???? Also how would this effect the car would it need strengthening anywhere?

Well, not sure where would do a pro job, I guess courtenay would, plus other vaux specialists.
Yeah, you could twin turbo it, again, depends how much you wanna spend.
As for strengthening, if your lowering the compression ratio, then you should be able to get away without any other internal mods, as the crank should be able to take that bit more power. Low comp. pistons would be better than 3 head gaskets though. 
One possible way would be to nick the turbo setup from a saab 9-5 3.0t Griffin. 'tis the 3.0litre omega lump (More or less) with a single turbo, running off one bank, feeding both banks.
Nick the turbo off that, bolt it onto yours, possibly the pistons would fit, to lower the comp. a bit, then get some fuel injection system that can dump more fuel in to go with the boost and you should be able to get 300 ponies with that.
This is all very theoretical mind...
