Congratulations on the purchase.
If I had my time again, I'd focus more on handling ie. suspension, sway bars, anti-lift kit, strut brace etc before I touched the power.
A 220hp wrx with well setup handling mods is a butt-load more fun to drive than a 270hp wrx with stock suspension, and average at best brakes.
Suspension/handing
Brakes - pads & rotors (at least)
seat time
seat time
power mods - exhaust/intake/injectors/pump/tune


Oh, and welcome
