Tuning... also it will be hard to fit an EWG-ed up pipe with that monster DP. I think the FP greens internal gate is sufficient enough to control the boost you want. Unless im wrong. The advantege of the EWG is absolute pinpoint boost control. I say unless you're having boost control issues you should spend the money elswhere.

Do you have the TXS downpipe? For the uppipe one could be fabbed to fit, to clear the 4" DP or you can weld your own. Or I'll sell you mine and you can get it modded. You don't need to weld the dump tube into the downpipe unless you think it's too loud, I'm not going to.
oh you need a re-tune of course...

you also don't need to weld the FP Green's IWG, you can remove it and fab up a bracket to hold it shut.
Area1320 Subaru & DSM Turbo Fabrication! Shipped Daily! may have some brackets made up for the green.
EDIT: If you do that you keep the FP Green's resale value

faded, i thought you wanted to go with a rotated setup? those kits are external setups and comes with what's necessary.
