Default WRX Power Upgrade 280bhp

Having now owned by WRX hawkeye for over a year now. I am finding the power a bit lacking and am looking possibly to upgrade a couple of bits and put that smile back on my face.

I currently have a H&S catback exhaust and GFB dump valve fitted. So what is the most cost effective way of seeing a power upgrade to around 280bhp?

Not sure if hawk had a cat in up pipe but if it does Decat that, sports cat downpipe would be fine, panel filter and a remap should be all good maybe new plugs whilst you're at it.

if your paying for a re-map etc then you may aswell change the turbo.280bhp in a lardy newage isnt really that fast to be fair
