Yep. A tune is gonna do it. Stage 1 or 2.
Stage 1 being just a tune and nothing else.
Stage 2 being a downpipe and tune. There are variations to this but that basically constitutes a stage 2.
You can either get a Cobb Accessport and use their maps or have someone protune via the accessport for even more performance and drivability.
You can also open source tune it and forgo the expense of the Accessport.
If you have e85 in your area, you can utilize that for even larger gains. This will require larger injectors and a fuel pump adding to the cost.
If you just want lots of power, then a bigger turbo and possibly building the engine.
What's your power goals and what do you intend to do with the car?

Track
I plan on making it a track car/ daily driver, looking to make high mid 400s
You suggest a tune on stock components? I was thinking an exhaust first and the Cobb AP and stage 2 tune like you said.

What kind of track events do you plan on... 1/4 mile or autoX and time attack. This will define your goal and then your ultimate setup.
As droopy suggests I recommend suspension mods first and for the type of HPDE driving you plan to do. This will net you your biggest gains on the track. Once you get the car driving the way you want it then add power to suit your needs.
