Tuning does put more stress on the car, done right it will never be noticed (and based on Subaru reputation be better for durability) but done for power you're sacrificing that longevity. Most people aren't cool with gambling the motor on their new car, especially if they just got it to reduce their expenses as the OP did.

It's an option, and should be done before FI if the OP decides to stick with the car, but most are of the opinion that modding because you're disappointed in the power is a loosing battle. Modding because you love the platform is different and doesn't seem to be the OP's feelings.
