Should I AP, or go with TBE

Accessport. It will smooth out the torque curve while adding power. Plus, when you do end up getting the dp, you can reflash the map. Also, the AP reads CEL codes which is a big plus.
My 2 cents. Im sure the next post will say, "Downpipe"

AP will give you more right now and if you run just a downpipe you will have a chance at having turbo creep. My first mod was an AP and it helped a lot.

AP with an aftermarket downpipe/stock cat-back would be fine. You may want to do the DP and the cat-back all at once just to save your self some time but if you don't have the money, do what you can. My Invidia DP didn't come with the turbo/DP gasket so you'll want to check and see if the DP you get has a gasket or go get one from Subaru.

i'd definately go with the AP first if you had to choose. a tbe would cause boost creep, and while the only real way to get rid of it is to port the wastegate, the AP does do a good job of masking it.

If you want to keep your motor and ur tbe i'd go with the accessport first or else you can say bye bye to your motor 
. You need engine management if you want to have a tbe.
