Why would anyone add a CAI system to a turbocharged engine? They only
work for aspirated engines. For your set up you get absolutely no
gain
in hp or torque and it reduces the turbo life. The pressure
differential on the turbo is less causing it to operate at higher
rpm. The turbo winds up dumping all that extra air any how. Some even
say the CAI tube retunes the intake and makes for even more problems
for the turbo.

What good are those springs without changing the struts?

You're pretty much wrong on this. I've driven a LGT with these mods at
the differences are easy to note, especially on the suspension tweak.
The springs are designed to work with the stock struts. By the way,
the CAI is sold by Subaru for the LGT along with the heat shield. So
you're claiming Subaru is selling a part that will shorten turbo life
in the face of the long extended warranty they offer? No one, not even
the heavy modders seem to agree with you.
Most exhaust builders reccomend a stock CAI on turbocharged cars and I
will also be adding an exhaust.

Sure Bob, next it'll be NOX, rebore, recam, get rid of the turbo add SC
and run nitro. Oh, don't forget the sodium valves!
