Nice ride and welcome.
Just some mod ideas here, not saying that all have to be done or anything but just generalizing.
1st get a TBE (turbo back exhaust), then put in a boost gauge, a MBC and a TMIC( like a Saab 900). You can then safely run around 12 psi of boost which will put you at around 200-210 chp. You can then do a FCD (fuel cut defender) if you want to up the boost to around 14-15 psi. Anything beyond that will be getting into engine management and fuel delivery mods being needed to safely run higher boost, bigger turbos ect.
That is engine mods but there is much more you can do too.
You could swap in the front brakes off a WRX for better braking but you can't run the stock 15" wheels with them. You'll need at least 16" wheels.
Suspension mods are a great way to enhance the car too. Get some KYB GR2's and some springs, STI group N top mounts, and maybe a larger rear sway bar. Front and rear tower braces would be sweet too.
Getting STI group N tranny and engine mounts is a good idea too.
Ther are all sorts of options out there and endless parts that will enhance the cars performance. The question is how much do you want to spend and how far do you want to take it?

and the only current mod i have right now is a ractive air filter cuz i had to replace the old one..lol..i just bought the car so i havent done much stuff under the hood..and how rare are the SS's?? yea so by the end of summer my legacy should be all fixed up and stuff..gonna paint her rally blue too..thanks again

I also recommend the WRX front brakes. Any bigger brakes and you'll need tires you can't likely fit under the car to prevent lock up.

I'd recommend whiteline springs, just because they rock. They'll only drop you about 1.5" all around though... If you're looking for something more drastic, I'd suggest wrx or rs suspension.
Exhaust should help a bit, but in order to really pull alot of power, you're going to need to up the boost, don't do that without installing some kind of intercooler.
LSD=limited slip differential. In most basic terms, if you have one wheels that is spinning freely(burnout, ice, wet leaves, whatever), with a regular diff, you will just have that wheel spinning and not go anywhere. The limited slip only allows it to slip a limited amount(concept!)So it'd allow your slippy wheel to rotate 1.6 times or whatever, before "locking" your other wheel and making it spin too. Excellent for low traction situations such as rallycross, ice/snow, toasting some kid in his dad's bmw
