350bhp?
I am looking to get another impreza now after selling my last one just under a year ago (i miss it too much).
So the new one i'm wanting to get to about 350bhp. What modifications do you lot suggest to achieve this?

See the thing you want to be considering is to get to the power levels it wont be to much of a problem, but you have to also think about reliability at them levels as clutches start slipping you might need uprated brakes etc So personally do your homework on it consider everything and take it from there and make sure you have money spare as once you start modding things you need and costs just stack up

TBH, if i was gonna do it again i'd start with an sti as 350 is very easy to reach for less money and with a bigger safety margin.
If you know you are gonna chase figures don't start with a wrx

I know all about the clutches slipping, i plan on upgrading the suspension & brakes as well. Just not sure if its worth saving up & waiting to get an STi.

350HP
Definitely buy an STI as it can run that power and more no worries. 
The gearbox and block on the STI are superior to the WRX.
Fit a less restrictive exhaust, panel filter and get a remap and you'll be up around 340bhp & 340lb/ft in no time.
Though I must admit my 2005 STI did tear up it's clutch on the way home from my visit to Alan and Martin at Engine Tuner! Still drove fine though.
Now has an uprated Exedy clutch and a lightened flywheel.
Driven daily for 2 years, 26mpg, and straight through the MOT's.
