even if you could somehow make it to 300hp by forging everything inside the engine, would the 1.6 gearbox hold it? How would you stop it? By the time you've upgraded gearbox/hubs/driveshafts/brakes/shocks - the STI is cheaper and a much better platform. Hell even a WRX will hit 300 which a few bolt ons and a remap.
Your project just doesn't make sense to me, if your shooting for 500hp then start with an STI, if your shooting for 300hp then start with a WRX. If you like what a scooby looks like then continue to drive your 1.6 until you can save up the cash for a turbo car.

You would still need a turbo chassis though. You would be better of buying a turbo car from the start. If you forge it with uprated turbo injector exhaust decent tune etc you will have a pretty potent car. That would be the route that makes most sense. You would be trying to do what Subaru did from the factory.
