For the intake it dosn't really matter what brand, and for the bov a greddy type s is a really good bov for the price, and a boost controller it doesn't even matter pretty much anyone will hold the boost(You will need a guage for this also)

Yeah, nate's right. The stock intake is pretty good, adding an aftermarket peice may only be for looks. Some companies, such as Injen, make intakes that will add an additional 2-4hp, but when it's time to upgrade the turbo, the $100 intake you just bought will be useless. Just replacing the filter and box with an open element cone type filter will give about 1-3hp gain max, but the power will drop else where in the power band. Also, consider an EGT guage or A/F gauge. Or if you're really into optimizing your engine, get a pocketlogger. The pocktelogger can be a useful since it also doubles as a datalogger and can watch over many different functions. It's also rather cheap, a complete setup can cost about $200. Hope this helps, and fun with your AWD.

No it's simple all you do is loosen a few clamps on the bov and take the old one in and stick the new one in. And for the Boostcontroller all you do is take the pressure line and the vacuum line rom the wastgate and the turbo, and take out the old boostcontroller.
