Sell your wrx and get an STI, it will save you a fortune on tuning if you want to go that way, otherwise your after injectors, uprated fuel pump, new turbo (vf35 is popular), remap, then you will be looking at the brakes as they wont stop you, your clutch will be pushing the limits, as will the gearbox and engine.

Most people use the STI pink 550cc injectors and a walbro 255ltr pump, though the bosch 040 is meant to be a better (abeit more expensive) pump.

Turbo: VF 34. Have one in my bug wagon - with sensible mods an easy 320 with good spool. Clutch, engine, turbo and box good(ish) for upto 350 tops (unless you drive very hard). I reckon if you want to go much above this figure an STi is the way to go. Next step is find a good tuner who can do it all and give advice based upon your car. But, it will not be as cheap as modding an Evo.
