Turbo back exhaust

So im full of questions today it seems.i have just been goin through the mods i want to do on my Legacy and just wondering what order to do things in and which mods are essential and which arent really needed. My main concern is with the exhaust system. Need to get a custom one made up given the setup on the new Legacys. I was thinking of a turbo back exhaust system but maybe keeping the standard back boxes for a sort of stealth look. Also would help keep costs down as the 2 back boxes would cost a lot to change too. I dont think after markert back boxes add lots of power anyway(correct me if im worng there!) decat centre section and downpipe should be enough.

Trying to split this into 2 stages. First one being:
custom decat turbo back exhaust
uprated Walbro fuel pump
Uprated DeatschWerks/power enterprise 550-750cc injectors(not sure which size i need!)
3 port boost solenoid
tweak map

And later stage as finances allow:
Turbo upgrade(hybrid standard trubo probably)
Uprated TMIC
tweak map
Brembo brake upgrade

Obviously would be ideal to do all the above in one swoop but dont think i have the patience to wait and save up the full amount needed.

Does this seem like a sensible plan or is there any mods im forgetting or do things in a different order maybe. Obviously some Brembo's brake upgrade and will follow. I might be happy with just the Stage 1 stuff but all the above is in the wish list. Does anyone know where i can find an accurate "stage" definition list??
 
If you're going to get a custom exhaust I would recommend you make sure to get the down pipes with resonators unless you want your Legacy to sound really raw (which I think you probably dont as you bought a Legacy in the first place).

The rest of the mods sound sensible but I wouldn't think you need injectors that big (750cc) unless you're planning on going for for something like a TD 06 turbo upgrade. AS Andy Forrest always says you should choose the smallest turbo that meet your needs otherwise you get a car which doesn't suit your driving style which has cost a small fortune to make less satisfying to drive.
