Joo crazy mang .
Boxers don't break in until 40k.

It's never too late to start.

I would also ditch the CAI. At stage II, not needed. The stock intake on the sti is fine, although a K and N panel filter probably would be a nice mod.

Though were I in your shoes I would save money on that intake as, without a protune, even cold air intakes wont make much if any power.

This.

Can't believe it took 15 posts for someone to say it.

In fact most engines don't really break in untill 40k.
Look at the long term tests in the car mags.
Speed increases also mpg.Although slightly.
