My previous car was a 03 WRX and the engine configuration is identical as the STI. I don't see the second turbo at all, tyhe supercharger is placed where the stock air filter and restrictive MAF and air hose use to be .
The turbo is also installed 90 degrees of from original configuration, on the picture the intake is to the left, on the stock STI is to the right..

Th piping on the IC is just ridicuolus, it is like 8 or more feet. Most of the WRX owners use to get the TMIC because of less turbo lag and less pressure drop.

The stock intercooler on the STI is not even 6-8" from the turbo.

Looking at its dynograph...its just a bad power curve full of lag. There are single turbo setups (SZ55) that will hit 430whp by the time that thing hits 300whp.
