Let's see. On a stock 09+ wrx, you could probably get to 300whp (or mighty close like maybe 280ish) on the stock turbo with full exhaust, tune, intake, and maybe new intercooler. But much more than that and you're replacing the turbocharger and adding supporting mods.
And yes, 6MT swap is possible. If you don't want a wagon, the SpecB came with the 6 speed minus the DCCD.
Also you can upgrade the gears in the 5-speed - you don't need to do a 6-speed swap.
