Smile Looking to upgrade my 2001 s40

I've been thinking about doing some quick and fairly painless upgrades to my Volvo in an attempt to make it more fun to drive. I live in Hawaii and I'd like the chance to fully enjoy some spirted driving through some twisty mountain roads. The upgrades that I've been specifically interested are:

- Sway Bars- front and rear but I would like some sugestions on the diameter for the bars.

- Exhaust- Just a turbo back custom exhaust but i dont want anything too loud as it is my daily driver as well.

- Boost Regulator- I'd like to add a bit more boost if at all possible. I'm pushing about 12PSI as of now but I'm not sure what a safe limit would be for a stock engine.

- ECU- This is the last thing on my list because I know the least about them. Such as what brands are trustworthy and what settings would be the most beneficial for a my car after all the previous upgrades have been done.
