you cant tune for a BOV, so throw that idea out the window. The intake can be tuned for, but it doesnt mean its done right. Snowman has said himself that he's had trouble before with certain intakes. I know he doesn't like my APS, for instance.
what sort of power levels were the cars getting that you were talking about CPages? Obviously when you get into high power levels, stock parts start becoming restrictions. But I havent seen a lightly modified car benefit from an intake yet, only suffer

For instance when I had my 07' STi there where tons of people that where just running Catback, Intake and Tune that saw some amazing numbers on Dyno. I have talked to several 08' Owners that are just running CAI (AEM and P&L) with AP and have reported the car coming alive.
I could be wrong. It just seems like the days of Intake being useless on our cars are over.
I have run an intake on almost every impreza I have owned and it always improved IMHO. I know for a fact that my WRX has horrible hesitation issues out the box, then I installed Prodrive Intake and reset teh ECU and I never had any hesitation again.

but with every instance you meantion, the intake isnt the only change. Every single example you gave me either included a tune or an ECU reset. That in and of itself will make the car feel different.
but im not going to get into this any further. the intake debate can go on forever.
Ill leave it with what I said earlier. Think about ditching the intake and it might fix your problem. If you still have the stock one, then its only a few minutes of install which could save you months of pain.

)Your APS pod on the other hand, is too short and results in a disproportianate amount of turbulence causing erratic MAF readings. So yes, I hate yours...

What do you think the problem is Jeff?

alright last week went driving down the road and my car (07 wrx) threw a cel. went to my work (advance auto) and scanned the car. i had 3 codes p2096 post catalyst fuel trim bank 1 system to lean and i also had that same code pending. the other code was p0303 cylinder 3 misfire detected. i aslo had my rear o2 throw malfunction codes in the past so i dont know if this had anything to do with this.
mods are: aps cai 70mm, perrin inlet, walbro fuel pump, sti tmic, hks ssqv bov, and tbe no cat. also snowman tuned for all of these parts.
if you have any ideas i liked to hear them. thanks mike

im just trying to make sure everyone knows tuners are human, too. You may be good, but it doesn't mean you'll get everything right.
