Wow wish I had a friend like that!

Definitely do he charge pipe. Even with no other mods, that alone is a nice piece of mind knowing it won’t crack like the factory plastic pipe.

With catless/ high flow downpipes, you will need a tune to keep the CEL off and maximize the improved flow. An upgraded turbo will also need a custom tune to take advantage. Pull the DME and have it bench flashed so you can install MHD on it. The OTS maps will work well to start but if you do end up with an upgraded turbo, tuners can make a map and upload thru that platform
