OP -- are you planning tuning the car yourself? If not, all your questions will be answered by the tuner you choose.
STis have engine failures at stock power levels, mostly due to broken ring lands. Amount of boost will depend on the turbo, stock VF* can probably last some time at 17psi on 91 octane (it will crack though, but yours is probably already cracked anyway), but not much more.
Since you aren't willing to search, just ask a few local tuners, they have the answers.

Well, I DD my car with E85, catted DP, intake , 850cc inj and 340lph pump. It's still practical as hell, and gets 335whp/395wtq.
Think that's what the OP needs (I guess it's over 400hp at crank), but needs do a lot of reading first. Took me ~6 months to fix my plans & do things right

1.) No one gives a **** about hp, it's not a practical number and has almost no relation to the car's actual performance. This is also painfully obvious as you are the only person talking about hp and everyone else is talking about whp.
2.) Since our cars are AWD, we have awhp. Not rwhp.
3.) You need to figure out how to do your own research. Otherwise we will think you're an idiot.

You have to understand that when you ask a question that there is no clear answer to, then you get agitated when people tell you that -- and you do not take their advice -- people aren't going to meet you with their arms out ready to give you a hug.
All of these questions you're asking have been answered a million times, its all over the internet and isn't hard to find. When you are lazy and demonstrate that, no one will hold your hand.
Do you always give money to homeless people because they ask for it? Do you get a raise at work if you do the bare minimum? Probably not.
Subarus are awesome but like everything they have limitations. There's so many variables and people have so far given you the basic responses, which apparently hasn't been sufficient and when you give attitude to those who are trying to help, its not met well, that's all. I hope that you figure it out and have fun with your car.

only when the new guy is acting like an ******* to everyone who was trying to help him granted some of the people helping were acting like asses themselves. there is no single definitive answer to how much power your motor can handle. that depends on tons of different factors. the condition of your engine, how aggressive your tune is, the turbo, and tons of other factors. running a 16g turbo will run completely differently than a twin scroll turbo which will run completely different from a massive rotated turbo. a massive front mount intercooler will make different hp than a top mount intercooler. our cars have more factors than a normal car that need to be accounted for to give what hp you can handle.
