Question Power Upgrade

Hi..... just bought a MY99 WRX and lookin for a bit more power, it already has some substantial mods but just lookin for a bit more. I'm new to the game though as i only bought my rex about a month ago, done plenty of reading and picking the brains of a few mates in the know,so i got a few ideas of possible upgrades. Still any suggestions on mods and pricing from experienced rex owners would be greatly appreciated. CHEERS!

MODS LIST
rebuilt engine w/forged pistons
Vf34 turbo
Hybrid fmic
K&N air filter
Maxum 3' inch exhaust
turbosmart stage 2 bov
Autronics ecu

Its good for about 190kw atw but lookin to get it over 200kw

If its runnin 20 psi, it should be definately gettin 200kw. I had mine with vf34, autronic, sti tmic, turboxs bov, 3" exhaust at 17psi and mine was only just shy of 200.

Something seems a rye there i reckon.
