Your engine will be fine with that setup.
The transmission on the stock wrx has problems with handling alot of power many people, from what I have read on this board and others, with stock power levels are breaking their transmissions (assuming you have a 5MT). Much of the damage done to the trans is in the way you drive, high rpm dumps, power/quick shifting, etc... The stock clutch is designed that it will break before the trans does but still becareful when driving. Many guys on the board have larger turbos and higher power levels and their transmissions are still going strong. It is all in how you drive it...
That said you have the same setup that I am going to have does it pull harder down low?? more torque??? Any track times??

No track times yet. We (my cousins and I) are going to dyno our cars soon. As far as pulling the most noticeable difference is in the mid torque range. 3rd and 4th pull a lot harder than they used to, and I noticed having to shift out of 1st faster. I've accidentally redlined it a couple times already. You'll notice the difference after the pipes...and then adding the stage 2 reflash you'll feel the pull...All in all I love it...Just a bit choppier than i wanted it to be.
