Those of us that genuinely want to retain this engine as N/A, isn't because we don't want more power per se, it's because we like the response, purity, and simplicity of natural aspiration. That doesn't make boosted setups wrong for others, it's simply reinforcing our desire to have an specific machine interaction as man-machine oneness.
If you want to garner the respect of the N/A crowd, competently develop an ECU flash with control of both fuel injector sets, spark, and cam phases. Work on intake and header tuning, and camshafts. If you want to get into cylinder head tweaking, by all means, go for it.

This is what I want too! It's also about all of this plus power delivery, throttle response and
sound.
As much as I like the distinct burble of a WRX, I'd rather hear a PO'ed free-revving N/A engine at 8-9k RPM.
