Well if your looking for just speed and not braking and suspension then start with Cobb accessport. Depending on how much money you are willing to throw down then a new, bigger turbo would help (FP green is good or vf22) With that you would need injectors and fuel pump obviously. Add larger intercooler, exhaust, and headers you'd be near the 300hp area. Try going to cobbtuning.com they know their stuff and research all the different parts before you buy a specific one.

I personally have a utec and a vf34 and am in the area of 300-310whp. I have a bunch of other supporting mods(already mentioned). Personally, see how much I have spent getting to where I am now and I wish I would have gotten an sti. You can pick them up used now days, something I couldn't do back in late 02 early 03. Check out gruppe-s web site they sell everything you need to go faster then you want to. And for heavens sake don't just get a boost controller and break something on a new car.
