It's definately wider, and probably deeper as well, been a while since I saw mine LOL !
No the pipe is the one underneath the IC that makes all the difference !
The surface area is part of the equation, it's the core volume that's greater allowing more cooling of the compressed air from the turbo, and yes only needed above(?) 350 bhp. Most new-age STI owners go for an FMIC at around 400 bhp.
