Hi. I to have just bought MY03STI ppp, I'm 37 and like you say, better late than never. Ha mine 3 weeks and already spent hundreds on it. A few mods and I have 328 bhp on the standard turbo. With a few more mods I'm hoping to see the other side of 350.
I am by no means the best to answer you questions but I assure you, you are in the right place to get answers. :-)
Think most will say handling mods first, then power.
But, WELCOME. Get ready to be skint.

I have the same car as you, owned it over 5 years now. With 3" decatted Milltek exhaust, STI pinks, decatted up pipe, Walbro fuel pump and VF35, its running a reliable 312.1 bhp on the standard WRX intercooler.
My advice is brakes first. The WRX standard setup is ats its limits with PPP. A decent set of slotted discs with DS2500 or EBC Bluestuff pads along with braided hoses and DOT 5.1 should see the brakes sorted. 22 /24 mm Whiteline ARB with solid droplinks at the rear, followed by a fast road geometry setup will transform the handling and reduce the inherent understeer. If you decide to lower, don't go more than 25 to 30mm, but do this before the geometry is reset. Welcome to Scoobynet
