Yes, that's just an ECU tune.
The next step in easy-ish mods for power would address reducing intake air temps to allow higher boost levels - a methanol/water injection system, and/or upgrading the intercooler system with custom intercooler cores + heat exchanger, or perhaps a "killer chiller" refrigerated system.
To get more from there, you'll have to start physcally modifying basic components - you could get the heads ported and have the turbos modified to use larger impellers, then swap in higher capacity injectors...... and then you'll need to get a custom tune done to accomodate all these mods.
But keep in mind that you're then going to be making way more power than than the transmission and differential are built for, so you'd need to address that......
All you need is $$$$$$$$$
What's your plan for all this - drag racing?

I havent had my license back too long (medical))...I'll drive it for a while and if I want to upgrade then, I'll modify acccordingly. My good friend is a very talented mechanic, he put together a few 9 sec. turbo mustangs in the past. thanks !!
