It's difficult for me to judge whether this made a performance difference, as at the same time I fitted an Apexi ECU and had it mapped. It was a lot faster, but I think that is mainly down to the ECU. 
What I would estimate is that it appears to take in 99% cold (i.e. 'outside') air, as opposed to before where it used to take a small amount from the engine bay area.
Definitely worth it IMHO.
I like the Morettes, which is odd because I hate pretty much every other light cluster mod on Scoobies (lexus etc), although some STi rear lights would be nice. They came on the car and are not something I would have personally purchased but I like them, even more so now.
Cheers

I quite like the other way people do direct air intake thingy... a chrome pipe is visible on the outside and it looks like a machine gun will come out of the hole - I can't explain it right can I LOL. I think they use the foglight area for that mod though so no good if you want to keep your fogs

No - but I've had a Walbro 255l/h pump fitted for a few months anyway.

Because this is all done before the maf sensor the map will adjust itself to cater for more airflow...but i agree a full remap may be useful although i dont think theres any damage to be done....my KL certainly doesnt suggest that.
