Nice upgrade. But I would def put that stock intake and bov back on.

Why do you say that?

The intake and the BOV cause the car to run really lean and its actually robbing power from you.

Ya i read up on that a couple of days ago, i was just wondering what kind of answer you had. I spoke to a dude who's works at subaru's service shop and he said it shouldn't be a big deal. He also told me of a place in Austin, TX that can tune it for me for 500 bucks to get the A/F straight. The only down fall I read about putting a BOV and CAI and turbo back exhaust is it causes it to run lean but it still adds power.. online said the lean can eventally lead to engine damage in the long run. But i don't think its a HUGE deal right now but it is something I'm aware of and plan on getting fixed. (cool)

I figured after dropping a couple of mods it would be time to get it tuned right anyways...

Thanks for the stickies.. that was very information. Looks like i'll be getting it tuned properly here shortly to decrease some of the effects it listed.
