welcome. i think you're the 3rd N/A impreza here (me with an RS and Julie's outback). i can probably speak to a few questions you might have as i've been slowly tweaking mine for the last 3 years or so.
if you haven't i'd get a hold of a tactrix cable, a romraider tune (not sure if they have parameters for N/A's as new as yours), and either do alot of research or have someone tune your car. if it's like mine was, the stock tune is junk and it will make a difference to tune it. i was able to customize a number of other parameters aside from fuel tables (the main problem) while i was in there, like throttle sensitivity as well as fine tune the MAF for my intake in closed loop. you can read more in my project thread.
my advice would be to run a hybrid intake (stock airbox, aftermarket tube from airbox to intake manifold) and a WRX intake duct if you won't have something similar. you'll get some power and lower intake temperatures for less money. tune for it to really take advantage of it.
what kind of exhaust work are you planning? catback or header too?
ultimately i'd encourage you to focus on the suspension. there is no real power to be had with our engines unfortunately, and it gets expensive since few people do it. but, you can take advantage of pretty much all the suspension goodies the turbo guys can use.
