Cobb since there are more users/tuners that work with it.
You are a prime candidate for cobb OTS stage 2 map, but a protune will get you a much smoother more reliable powerband, and make the car easier to drive and a good bit more power.
stock boost is about 11.5 PSI.
My personal opinion, but...drop the CAI, put the stocker back on there, and do some kind of engine management. ECU roms is the cheapest, Cobb is liked well, but there are many others. You could also upgrade your top mount if you wanted, but its not really a necessary item until you upgrade turbos.
Now if you weren't looking for engine upgrades, I could add a much bigger list.

***13.5 PSI***
thanks for fixing the ivtec...i was going to say something but i guess i wasnt that bothered
MBC = NO on subarus. Even with EM yoll only go up 1-2 PSI. Do not mess with the boost.

yea ditch the MBC, your car would run so much better if you just get it protuned adding more parts without it will just make matters worse IMO.
You definitely had it spelled wrong this morning.... That is what bothered me.... I-Vtec not I-Vetec...... You changed it now so Never Mind.
lol I-Vtec is WAY more complicated than that.... But hey whatever.

LOL! I know I caught that while I was doing lab!
Well I put my stock BC on and my boost gauge reads 6psi's...
Stupid MBC! I learned my lesson! My Turbo had blown like a month ago!

actually your missing your restricter pill. Most of the time you don't just "blow" your turbo up, actually in most cases you will "blow" your engine up prior to the turbo. Go to a dealership and tell them you need the vacuun lines from the turbo to the wg the stock b.c. and the T, Reducer, and restricor pill, and you will boost fine.
