To make big horsepower on an STi w/o spending 10 grand... here's the list:

3" Turbo-back exhaust (w/ 1 or no cats) ~$1000
Port the turbo waste-gate (to avoid boost creep) ~$200? or go with a VF22 turbo ~$800
Dyno tuned EcuTek ECU reflash (by a reputable tuner) ~$1000

So, all said and done, that's around $2500 to $3000 for I'd guess 400 to 450hp at the crank. :shock: That's porsche territory, for less than half the cost of a porsche.
