If the X51 bumps hp from 320hp to 345hp, then I would think that it's possible to squeeze an additional 25hp for 370hp with the equivalent aftermarket pieces. 
Or, then again, maybe not.

Hey man it's Andreas from Porsche of Orlando. Cars looking good! Good luck with it : )
As far as mods the normal, exhaust, intake chip and plenum. That will waken it up nicely. If you add a SC you take away what the car originally was. NA cars are a beautiful thing. Like said above the Turbo is the one for power.

I'd use your GIAC/Audi credit towards a GIAC upgrade for the PCar along with an EVOMS V-Flow Air Intake. Retail price on these two is ~$1,700 less whatever GIAC/Audi credit you would get. These two combined should add ~15-20 HP.
After that you could go plenum, headers, 200 cell cat's and exhaust. The headers, cat's and exhaust depend on how loud you want the sound to be. These along with the chip and intake will put you at ~370 HP.

^^^ Fabspeed airbox mod and a chip. That should be right around your $1000 mark. The Airbox mod is cheap looks cheap and works bottom line. Better throttle and better sound. I dont want to get into a pissing match here but more power to which has not only been proven on a dyno in front of me I can take you for a ride in my car and show you.
