Default Subie Virgin: '07 2.5i... Where do I start?

Two weeks ago I came home with my very first subie; 2.5i, 5 speed base wagon in Sonoma Red. We've had 3 snowfalls since for a total of about 40 cm (roughly 16"-18") and I can't get over how much I love winter now! Will post pics as soon as we get some sun! ...and I can figure out how!!!

The reason for my post is to get some advice on how much power gain I can get out my engine without going "Forced Air", and without doing all the internals. And wether it's worth it or not.

My goals are to keep it a daily driver, reliable but faster and more fun would be nice! Here's what I'm thinking:
-sway bars front and rear (20's I guess)
-17"-18" mags and tires (225/45)
-Pulley kit (ecu issues if I swap all 3?)
-Exhaust (axle back for staters or more if proven power gain)
-ECU upgrade (this is my biggest concern, cost vs gain)

Any advice would be greatly apreciated!

Thanks
