IMO a boost controller is bad on *any* WRX... stock or not. You get better results w/ an AccessPort controlling the factory EBC. Though the EQTuning folks will disagree w/ me on that, but even they're running a MBC *in addition* to an AccessPort.
In short, a Manual Boost Controller, or standalone Electronic Boost Controller will make the car marginally faster while risking the motor. A reflash (AccessPort or ECUTek) will not only work better and generate smoother power, it will also be nearly factory safe as all the safe guards are left intact.
Also note that an intake and blow off valve are not on my list anywhere... an intake is only useful once you get into heavy mods, and a BOV is almost never useful (I've got a 300+awhp motor swap, FMIC, 20g turbo, and I'm still using the stock BOV).
