Thanks Granby
I'd leave this mod until you start to hike the power significantly, I don't know what the upper limit on the stock IC is, but certainly some headroom for another 50 plus BHP IMHO.
Read elsewhere on here that you would need the STi scoop and underscoop bonnet tray to use the STi IC effectively.

Cheaper alternative
Fit an air splitter and plumb in some DIY intercooler water spray !
Larger intercooler should allow you to run more boost safely or run raised boost levels safely.
Have a look at these for more info (you might have to pay to read all the articles)
