Im more concerd if i can just bolt it up and run my innercooler w stock psi untill i can get the moneys for the injectors and MAf? Will i be fine? Please let me know..

Dude! Covered A thousand times (OK, maybe only a hundred!) :-)

But since I've been there/done that.......The TD04 is a good upgrade FOR STOCK systems and will run on all your stock components. I HIGHLY suggest going to a VF39 (04-08?) STi, but it's a lot more $$ and requires some upgrades to make it worth it.

Your '06 TMIC works well w/the TD04 and since you're 'well-read' on the piping/hoses/etc issues you're good to go.

BTW, if you have or add a 3" Downpipe you'll get about 11 PSI out of it (@ least I am) - which is still OK - you won't run out of fuel injector or hit the fuel cut @ 13PSI.

Have fun!
