Loads of people have stuck on a larger turbo (TD05, VF34, VF35, SC 36 etc) with injectors, decat, plugs, panel filter, fuel pump and re-map.
As long as it's mapped properly and you make sure it's looked after and the brakes done then reliability isn't a problem.

Typical upgrade route for these is something like a VF35 turbo, STI 550cc pink injectors and an STI top mount, oh don't forget really you need to decat the up pipe for the best results.
With this setup you should see between 310-330bhp quite comfortably with not too much stress on any of the components.

I went down that very route on the same car.
Started off with a Milltek 3" decat and Walbro fuel pump and remap.
Then bought a VF35, STI pinks, decatted the up pipe, Zen remap 312.1 bhp on WRX intercooler.
Better fuel consumption than when new with just the PPP. No reliabilty issues.
As Midlife says,brakes will need some better discs and pads to cope with any more than 265ish reliably and without fade.

Ok cheers for the help going to ring Powerstation Monday morning to get it booked in, exhaust pipes have already been done with remap made 282hp with PPP back box I'm sure they only do the turbo and remap they don't put in bigger injectors if I see around 310 to 320 hp I'll be pleased.

Dropping car off at Powerstation Wednesday morning for VF34 turbo and remap it will be on standard injectors should see around 310 bhp.it's running 282 bhp at the moment so should be interesting to see the final result I'll post it up on here when it's done.

Look forward to seeing the results. Do you have a full decat system? I am going down a similar route to you but was going to use a sports cat downpipe. Still want to pass the MOT, so not sure which to decat and which to leave.

Decat up pipe and down pipe PPP back box had the Ecutek remap already done made 282 bhp, I'll be happy with what ever gains it gives it's not so much about the numbers it's how it drives that matters to me!

x2. Looking to go down this route next year, aiming for 300bhp, but 332 sounds an awful lot on standard internals.

It depends on how you drive the car..... I ran my Bug WRX at about 370 ish BHP and somewhat less torque without problems on the Bug 5 speed box with no problems.
Then Cookstar on here ran his bug 5 speed at a lot less torque and trashed his box like chocolate......and his clutches LOL
