hey bud

i'm sure lots of people on p-wrx will be telling you not to get the blow off valve, it makes a cool sound but trust me you'll get sick of it after a few weeks and you may get a few backfires as well as running a bit rich. as for the air intake; you can do the full cold air intake setup OR just a better panel filter to start, but many will advise that you get the ecu re-tuned if you do this, especially if you do the full CAI. so all in all the question is, how much do you want to upgrade the car? if you want to do lots of upgrades, then i would say its best to buy all of the bits you want and get them installed one time, then get your ecu done to handle all the new bits properly and to avoid running too rich or too lean.

Blow off valve to atmos is only a wank factor.

Will attract a yellow sticker in no time.

if you add a cold air intake, you should hear a small amount of noise from the standard bov
as stated, atmo bov's are purely for wanking rights

If you leave the stock bov on and get a CAI, verso tune - wind up boost to 20psi - (fuel pump recommended) you won't hear it in cruise, but when on full noise - it's quite loud best of both worlds.
