What?

Re spare, it's not meant for prolonged use, and few miles or even few 100s miles won't destroy TC.

I'm getting this information from my own eyes, as the differences b/w old and revised parts are quite apparent, esp. for the middle one.

CEL will go away in few days if the issue causing the code is fixed.

There's a theory that the main AD hose has plastic lining that sometimes loses integrity from all the heat, which causes drop in pressure and resulting errors.

I don't have AD, so no personal...

I know this will sound excessive, but removing the intercooler makes the overall job much easier and ensures proper install of the charge pipe. Plus gives a chance to wash intercooler.

I'd also suggest cleaning and, if needed, replacing xenon reflectors and/or lenses.

For LCI headlights, if you're crafty, you can add second pair of projectors.
