The only slightly viable way forward is to get forged internals and a supercharger I recon done properly you could get it over 300 Bhopal but again you're probably looking at best part of 10k.
The 3rd option and imo the best for£ vs bop is to add nos could easily see 250bhp for not a lot of money

300 Bhopal?? you don't work for Union Carbide by any chance?
Seriously though, the 190 KV6 is a fragile engine not particularly suited to huge amounts of tuning, and TBH you are always going to be disappointed after the torque delivery of the diesel.
If you want all out mid range grunt in a petrol ZT, you'd be better off, and I hesitate to say this, buying a 260
Why not save the money spent on a fruitless V6 engine build and just get a V8
