Also running an outlet pipe, downpipe, cat-back, pulleys, and an S-AFC/255 Lb/Hr fuel pump for extra fuel when boost in turned up. Some people have told me about intake issues when engine is receiving too much boost. I figured that this amount of boost wasn't enough to collapse the intake hose. If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The Power Intake comes with an aluminum fitting, albeit a short one, you still retain the flexy part of the OEM intake, no biggie. There is no way you're going implode on teh stock turbo, maybe a T78 @25-30lbs or something....
I live in eastern washington, if you didn't know what that means... it means I'm surrounded by huge dusty wheat fields ALL AROUND my town. Pullman is known to be one of the dustiest places in washington state, I think it's worse here than when I lived in phoenix. Point being, the Power Intake is fine for your build plans.
I swear someone mentioned this b4, but hte K&N filters, while cleanable, are oiled filters. This means a lot of their filtration comes from the oil catching the particles that fly-by. Suction in turn pulls the oil thru the filter on a fairly regular basis (in minute amounts). But it's been reported by serveral people taht over time, the buildup of sludge will coat your MAFS and give you improper readings, typically making it unable to detect how much air is actually coming thru, and creating a rich condition.
You're over analyzing a very simple part of the car. Get the Power Intake and be done with it, you'll be fine... and if all you ahve now is the stock airbox, you'll notice a very slight increase in throttle response, and a wicked new sound from under the hood
