When I bought the car it had an HKS induction kit on it which I swapped for a standard airbox with uprated panel filter but I don't think that would have caused the problem.
I've only got basic mods anyway Do-Luck panel filter, Blitz Nur Spec 3" system and the only cat is just after the turbo oh and a Blitz dump valve

Do you reckon it would make much difference?

if it was mapped for the HKS, it would aquire more air and mapped accordingly, standard air box would be doing less air, so imo yes it would, however the ecu is clever enough to generally sort things within reason, you more than likely need the MAF rescaling.

At least on the bright side my slight lack of power is made up by my youthful handsomeness 
and as I'm not passing as fast as everyone else I get seen by everyone
I think it needs looking at to determine what my potential power is and what I can hope to achieve

20g with the standard ECU is fine. There are gains to be had with aftermarket ECUs of course, but not necessary. Unless of course you want to run more than 1.55 bar without turning safety features off lol.
Newage STi's are a lot more responsive with big turbo than old classics due to the AVCS.
Also, the 20G turbo doesn't suffer from compressor surge like the standard vf35 and so comes on boost harder once it spools.
Lots more to say on the subject.. but honestly.. I'm on my phone and can't be bothered lol
