Just to add if your still thinking of DIY.
You can buy piping in different bends from Vibrant. They'll have SS, Aluminum and Mild Steel bends. I bought a bunch of different ones and used those for my piping. I used my bomz intake for teh pipe that goes from the TB to the FMIC.
JAYS2000ZX3 can probably hook you up with the install.
We did everything in his driveway in 36 hours (straight).
Tapp auto is where I got my piping (ordered form vibrant), they also got me my couplers.

Pic of how tioight it can get in there
Heres the turbo and header
I'm not trying to discourage you or anything....it is very worth the upgrade and time taken to do this. If your BF's WRX is stock (I thought you mentioned he drove one), you SHOULD pull on him without any problems as long as your on dry pavement :P :D
