If you do nothing else (ie all cats in place) you 'might' see another 20 of each and driveability will improve lower down.
IMHO I'd either leave is as standard (ie a genuine GB270) or do more mods prior to remap. However, to make a significant difference over what you already have, a bigger turbo would be required.
There are a few guys on here (one has a recent post) who've fitted a TD05 20g to a 2.5wrx and had VERY impressive results. 360/360 iirc..!!!
It's all down to what you want to spend, but remember you will also need to factor in a front brake upgrade. From my experience the std 4pots, even with uprated pads and hoses/fluid, were not up to 300+..!
Therefore you'll also need to budget £1k plus in that department to do it right..!
So you see, how much do you want to spend..?

also it would lower the value of the car since its a limited edition, people would want a standard GB270 if you ever came to sell it.

Would also be a bit odd to mod a car with a name based on it's power 
Personally, I wouldn't bother unless you put some supporting mods in as at the end of the day it is just a mapped WRX you have in the first place.
