Dont do this this its not a good idea. Theres no real need to take out the intake silencer and add a CAI. CAI's on wrx's just dont work good stock is usually the best. And I seriously wouldn't recommend turning your boost up to 15lbs stock is about 13.6 I believe, not that the engine probably couldn't handle it but you never really know. I wouldn't turn the boost up past stock till you get a new up and downpipe and exhaust. That would be the first thing I'd recommend spending your money on a new up-pipe, downpipe (the divorced one vishnu makes is a very good one), and some 3inch exhaust(the blitz nur spec rated very well with some of the highest gains and damn its got a badass sound). Once you've done that I'd say you'd be safe to turn that boost up to 15 or 16 but I'd recommend gettin a EBC to do that. Also a turbo timer is not really required for these cars since there watercooled but it sure wouldn't hurt the car any. And a BOV is gonna be pointless for any kind of gains untill your running more in the 300-400hp range, unless your just after the sound.
