MAF perhaps (either check the voltage or when the car is idling unplug it it should stall if not then the MAF may be knackered)
Check the BOV pipework possibly even get a standard recirc one only about £10 from a breakers.
Check for any air leaks from the engine pipework.

Unleaded (95 ron) petrol isn't really suitable for imports ,97+ will be beter (possibly not BP Ultimate).

Also to be pedantic you may want to not use text speak i believe it may be against the terms and conditions of the website

24 is the idle control valve

45 is



Cylinder is your boost solenoid,black item to the left of the coloured wires is the MAP sensor and the orangey/brown thing is the pressure exchange solenoid.

i would guess your MAP sensor isn't working properly possibly this may lead onto the other error code being present.

(no worries about the text talk)

I would reset the ecu first to see if this sorts out the fault codes.

As for parts i'm not really sure Ebay would be a start but there are loads of subaru breakers in the UK and as for prices not a clue i'm afraid sorry.
