ITG setup...
Lucas,
Why don't you give the ITG carbon fiber airbox a try. I have it on my Stage III+ and can definitely feel the difference.. ITG claims a 9% increase in power from the box.

The can that you are refering to is simply an oil catch can. Instead of routing the oil back into the intake it goes into the can.
Yep I have the APR Stage III+ setup.. with the gt turbo setup. The setup is very nice! POwer is just awesome... Just say I can pull away from a MTM chipped S4 easily..

Did I see an oil cooler in August?...
Jeff F introduced us in Danvers. I had the Pearl a few cars down from you near the big door. Anyway...
Oil catch for what? I'm thinking about this very setup in about a year and a half. I need to collect my funds first. I've done just about everything short of a new turbo and FMIC since I got the thing last October. But I'm trying to move to Boston soon and am currently saving for a landlord to put his hand in my pocket and start pulling...the $$$ folks! Dirty minds!
Anyway, does that air box pull from the fender? I'm sure I'll have more Qs for you as the 3+ looms nearer. I'd love a ride sometime.

Do you feel the Stage 3+ is good as a street setup?
I'm doing a Stage 3 or a 3+, I was under the impression that the stage 3+ was more for track use and the stage 3 was a more "street drivable" setup. I probably won't get on a track, and if I did, not too often. I was thinking of going with the Stage 3 and FMIC when APR puts this together for the MY2000.
