Brakes, remap/new ecu (depends on your model year) so that would be what I would be looking at

I also would change the intercooler to a STI newage TMIC or a FMIC.

My V5 Type R has 348 hp (calculated on 16% loss) with following mods.
Ecutek
Hybrid FMIC
Larger inlet pipe
Maxim Works equal length headers
3" invidia exhaust with a 100 cell race catalyst
Fuelab FPR and parallell fuel rails
Aem dryflow intake
Walbro 255 fuel pump.

Some of the mods are probably unnecessary but with only headers, exhaust, intake and ecutek remap it made 331 hp (with decat back then). Same boost and no other mods on the map.

You have a few options on the ecu, simtek is the one to go for at the moment, not cheap or if you can get your hands on an APEXI or the likes 2nd hand then that will be a good choice
