I have an ITG foam air filter (from Abbott Racing) and honestly don't know if it makes any difference. You might gain 2 bhp. No perceptible increase in noise level with the ITG, either. I'd hesitate to do some of the things people do to their intakes because of the risk of ingesting water (we have plenty of that here in the UK, most of it halfway across the roads I drive on, and my air intake is in the gutter). If I wanted to do anything more on the intake side and was feeling rich enough I'd upgrade the intercooler.
Don't know of anyone putting in the restrictions you mention, and can't see the point on the face of it if the standard items and hoses are working properly, but I normally find myself on the 9000 board where such things are less frequently discussed. However, upgrading the BOV could make sense with more boost. You could try a search.
For most practical purposes (ie. yours) I'd have thought the 3.0 bar regulator you have will be fine, Wade. If you want 240 bhp you can just plug in an ECU and forget about the rest. It's just worth making sure everything else is working really well first, because "even" 200 bhp is pretty good if it's all there.
Trionic is excellent at adapting to the modifications you throw at it. If you want to know more I suggest you look at any posts by Dr Boost.
