Just to point out that anything other than the PPP on a UK car will invalidate your warranty, the PPP is a good starting point, if not you may have been better getting an STi

Full de-cat or one sports cat exhaust plus Ecutek has generally returned in the 280s at Power Engineering for new age (bugeye/blobeye) WRXs. This might only be 265 at some other rollers. Can get a bit more with induction mods, better TMIC, hose replacements etc, but realistically 300bhp on optimistic rollers is about the limit without changing the turbo. However, you will end up with torque coming in hard at a rev range where STi drivers are still sitting there, bogged down.

Like Tony said, the PPP is warranty friendly, and ~15bhp down on the above route.
