The article I read said "mild revisions" and didn't clarify any more than that. My suspicion is the addition of multiport injection and probably a bigger turbo. I don't know if they upgraded the rods and pistons in order to make this reliable. I would guess not...
FWIW I read an article that MTM tuning has squeezed about 50hp and 50ft-lbs of tq from what seems like just a tune (like stage 1). So... I think gtiw7 is right. A stage 2+ would likely get 400hp and most likely no other major engine work would be required.
don't know about first question. but for the second one; APR stage 2 or 2+ will most probably be enough

Mmm what do u mean by stage 2+? The "+" on the mk6R platform stood for the upgraded hpfp. For as much as we know there is no 2 "+" tune on the mk7 R cause it uses a reworked EA888 engine that does not require upgrading the hpfp.
That said, i believe a stage 2 setup (tune and dp) should get the 7 R in the 380bhp zone
