Wow... you must not have bothered to read anything we posted.

More boost without more fuel will at the very least give you *less* power, because the car will pull timing trying to protect itself, and at the most it's just gonna blow itself up.

Get engine managment. A reflash (EcuTek or AccessPORT) is not only far cheaper than a new motor, it will also make the car far faster than it would be without it.

You're already risking the motor on that STI by running the CAI and exhaust w/o tuning... stay outta the throttle like that or you'll boost creep that thing into fuel-cut. And I wouldn't recommend taking it down to sea-level.
