welcome to the club mate, looks like you got a decent 1st Impreza 
big debates regards to the induction kit/ original airbox with a good panel filter.
I prefer the original box with K&N panel filter. In my eyes & many others, unless your about 350bhp upwards a panel filter will be perfectly ok.
But even having an induction kit does not mean the end of your maf sensor, but there is the old heat soak issue as it is taking in warmer air from the engine bay.

Alright Danny, Chris said you'd joined here!
Im 99% certain they are not Subaru Impreza alloys, they are aftermarket alloys.
I would change back to a decent panel filter, I had a Blitz Sus air intake on my old Scoob and it killed my MAF quite quickly. Fit a decent panel filter and then remove the air box snorkal from the inner wing, doing this will give you that whooshing sound the current filter makes.
That dyno printout is generous!
Enjoy mate.
