Default How to get more power?

Hi all I've had my 96 classic wrx sti for about 3 months and I'm thinking about looking to increase on the 280(ish)bhp it has at the moment (I say 280ish because the car does have the HKS Super Drager exhaust so I'm not sure what extra that would give it, anyone know on that front?)

I would like to get it to the 350bhp mark but not sure what the best route to do this would be any advice most welcome cheers in advance.

Going on what i've read on here the most popular route is:

Uprated Turbo - 20G, VF34...
FMIC
Re-map...

Along with supporting mods:

Injectors,
Fuel Pump,
Exhaust,
Filter, etc...

I am just at the end of this process on my98 sti4, wanted a reliable 350+bhp which i think i have achieved once the mapping is finnished on the 15 jan,
below is a list of how i have gone about it, in no particular order.

Knock Link (a must)
Apexi induction kit
Samco turbo inlet hose
HKS hiper muffler
HKS closed neck de-cat down pipe (wrapped)
HKS headers (wrapped)
Magnex up pipe (wrapped)
Td05/06 20g turbo
Power enterprises 550cc injectors
Link ecu (BRD)
Apexi avc-r
Hybrid fmic
Full rebuild inc new short block and sti7 rods (RCMS)
AP organic clutch
Walbro fuel pump

And probably alot more that i have forgotten as it's taken me months to get here, and a few quid as well, hope this sheds a bit of light on the amount of parts needed.

Andy.

Depends on how much torque your going to put though it, plus the clutch may well not survive very long depending on your driving style...
