Default 400-450bhp intake advice

Hi guys, ive been doing some research but cant really find the answers i need.
im going to be running a md321t turbo on my 2004 type uk sti. I have the following -

md321t turbo
3" cobra decat full system
fuel pump
800cc injectors
headers

I now just need the intake hose, induction kit and 3 port boost solenoid.

1. After looking around it seems most intakes (k&n) only support 350bhp, can anyone tell me which one would be best for this set up?

2. I take it a samco hose will do the job?

3. I believe a classic impreza boost solenoid will do the job but where can i get one as i dont want to go on ebay and order the wrong thing. Also times against me so need these asap.

Thanks for any advice

Stock airbox and uprated panel filter is good for just over 400bhp in my experience.

Having made just over 400bhp with stock parts as above, is there any noticable power increase to be had (after a remap) by changing to a good induction kit with no other mods?

Standard air box with a good panel filter is fine for a little over 400bhp.

Can't say I've done one to try without also swapping to a front mount at the same time, big gains to be had there obviously
