Main Engine/turbo Differences Limits In Modding?

Hi guys,

 

About a month ago, I became a very happy owner of a 2000 V70 XC AWD Turbo. Runs and drives great.

I had no idea about the trim level, engine size etc.

Turns out that I have a 2.4T 5 cylinder with low pressure turbo.
Engine code is B5254T Some refer to it as 2.4, some refer to it as 2.5

 

Performance wise I would like to know what are the main differencez between a low and high pressure turbo (besides the temptingly higher horses)
and all the other versions of the 2.4 engine.
would adding a higher flow air filter help the situation a bit?
I would doubt that using only off the shelf parts like a higher flow injector and higher pressure turbo could safely increase the output of the engine, am I correct? Also I'm not sure if the automatic transmission would hold up.
