welcome mate 
not worth getting one mate , for a start you will need a remap !
also a decent panel filter like k&n or green cotton can see over 350 bhp
anymore than that, then consider one

A normal cone filter type induction kit will do you no good at all as it simply sucks in loads of red hot air thanks to your turbo. So you either need to just keel it standard and replace the standard filter with a KnN or Green Cotton panel filter, or go for a proper cold air enclosed induction kit such as typhoon, or pipercross unit.
TBH the panel filter may be your best option, and by far the cheapest

Hi there
At first,Induction kit you are don't need on your car and you can end with big bill at the end(engine rebuild is expensive)
At second,you will need as well Remap and £550 for remap and i don't think its worth induction kit.
Induction kit will kill your MAF sooner than OE filter if its not mapped and bad NAF will bring more problems and you can loose too bhp(some claiming 15bhp increase,but not on Subaru or any car)
Stay away from IK and rather spend money on ARB,Droplinks and good panel filter(K&N,Green Cotton Panel filter)

anyone know the best place to get a panel filter then and also is there a better brand than the other, like K&N better than Green cotton... or whatever?

i think k&n and green more or less the same ? as they are both cotton guaze . i had a pipercross one which i think was £30 and that was like a rigid foam !
i would personally opt for the green ! " its a nicer colour than k&n
