I'd say that your next task would be more boost/more fuel. Unless you've upgraded the turbo, you may consider swapping to a T28 or the cheaper route of the T3/T4 hybrid. I've also heard good things about the T3 Super 60.
However, if your turbo is in good condition, you can purchase a manual boost control ($50-75) which will increase the boost to 20+ psi max around 3500 rpm, but the T25 (T-too small) runs out of steam at the high rpm and only gives 12-14 max at redline. The turbo is also incredibly inefficient at these levels, but it will still place your car into the mid-14s 1/4 mile.
Get either a RRFPR or FMU if you plan on increasing the boost a lot, or if you plan on getting a big turbo.
Personally, I'm planning on swapping to a T3/T4 hybrid with a Vortech Super FMU. I figure at around 15 psi, my car should be low 14s in the 1/4. My next step after that is an upgraded ECU, rebuilt tranny, alum flywheel and racing clutch, and solid motor mounts. By then, my saab should break 13s.
