(thought) I would suggest that you contact turbohoses to make sure about their HP diameters. But make sure you order from www.siliconeintakes.com as I can assure you that you will not find a better deal anywhere else. Trust me, I've looked.
update
Relocated my MAF to the factory position for the last three weeks and I think the car actually drives better. Keep in mind that I'm running the dual bov/bpv setup with a injen sri/turbohoses ram air.
The car seems to pull better and is more responsive. Only con was that the gas milage suffered greatly.

I wish I would have tried running my MSP with the stock intake and MAF location... just run a better filter. I think the car would have ran better.. honestly. I never saw my MSP stock intake, it was off when I purchased the car.
Wow to see this thread bumped.
I don't miss the MSP anymore. Subaru FTW.

What's up Jon! Glad to hear you're still likin' yer Subie.
I don't think the bpv is needed when relocating your MAF to the pressure side (after the bov).
Jon, is what is the purpose of having that bpv in the path? Why wouldn't I just be able to cap that inlet on the Injen off and just run it with the bov (i.e. remove that elbow w/the bpv in your computer diagram)?
In other words why did you choose to run what looks to be a reduntant path for the air (granted, I'm not a mechanical engineer or mechanic)?

Good question...
I'm going to be running 2 HKS ssqv's as soon as my intercooler and cold pipe get here. 1 on the hot and 1 on the cold, with the relocate. I wonder if this will be worth it. I already have the bov's. the one on the cold pipe is going to be held buy the flange welded on the pipe, the hot side has a special flange. That way, if anything I can cap it off.

There is just no point to venting the air for such a low boost application. Its a show-off valve at that point. Sure... the MAF is relocated AFTER the blow off.... meaning it is telling your engine that it is getting less air... but why would you want that? You want your engine to have air if you want power after shifts. Air is good.... I would not vent until 20+ psi.... but until then... the recirculated air will not put too much stress on the turbo or the throttle body plate.
Just my opinion. My car seemed to run better on a dual setup.... though I wanted to recirc 100%... it ran better when I vented half of the air. I wanted to recirc all of it though. I run 18psi on my Legacy and recirculate every last bit of it. It has worked wonderfully for me and it even sounds like a BOV just because I am pushing so much volume. I wish the MSP was like that....
lol well I wish the MSP bottom end could handle 310 HP too.

you posted this at 7:04 am?? You are hardcore Jon! 
Nevertheless, I appredciate your input. The problem I had when I did recirculate was that "fssfssfss" sound (compressor surge?) when I recirculated the air from my Greddy RS.
How did you accomplish recirc'ing w/out the "fssfssfss?"

100% - no. I think everythime I did 100% recirc I got flutter or turkey.
7:04 your time

I can see why you want to recirculate the air, but i just don't want that turkey/flutter. There's something in my gut that tells me that's not a good sound. On the other hand, hearing "vrroooom pfffssst" makes my ears sing
thanks for all your help on these forums even as a Subie owner.

Tallrd,
Have you come to a conclusion yet on whether to continue w/ the dual setup or blow off to the atmosphere?
I'm not near as far along as you, but these are all questions I will eventually have to deal with.

i think I'm going to cap off the recirculating air from my hot pipe to the Injen, and just blow off [show off] the air via the Greddy RS. It just doesn't make sense to me to recirculate that additional air considering I've relocated my MAF and have the Air Flow logistics a/f controller. For me, the sound of the flutter/surge and the potential effects of it when recirculating bothered me more than any potential power loss I'd feel when releasing the pressure through the bov to atmosphere.
I'll keep you posted.
