Cold air intake, and strutbraces next!

Certainly, I've got a rear sway bar in mind. Perhaps struts once I've decided how much I like the stiffness and oversteer.

I just did some reading about the cold air intake, since you suggested it. It looks like the stock Subaru intake is pretty good already, making it difficult to find aftermarket improvements that noticeably increase power. COBB Tuning advises that any ECU retune they'll do to take advantage of a new intake would be so conservative as to erase the benefits, because aftermarket intakes tend to have more bursty airflow than the stock one. That upgrade sounds like more fuss than it's worth, for my vehicle.

Instead, perhaps I should just replace my turbo, up-pipe, down-pipe and turbo-back? That ECU retune would yield substantial benefits! ;)
