STI I/C + slightly modified WRX = more lag?
Well, I wonder if an STI I/C could increase lag if fitted in a MY03-04 WRX PPP'd or Ecutek'd.
Currenlty my car runs fine with PPP + Scoobysport decat + STI backbox, I just want to add a bigger STI TMIC for the hot Greek summer just for safety, do I have increased lag or higher spool up point?

I'll wrap my turbo with thermo-tec turbo heat wrap and have already done my full exhaust.
I'll use also an STI underscoop with my factory hood scoop as I don't like the huge STI scoop.

I haven't noticed any extra lag doing this to my PPP WRX recently, but swear that peak boost is coming in earlier - I'll hopefully run delta dash on the car next week and compare it with runs from this time last year to see if this is really true.
Jim - I'll post the delta dash runs on the Ecutek forum when I have them.
I have also kept the WRX scoop, but hacked at an STi air splitter to make it fit. I've also transplanted the STi intercooler system into the wagon.
