Both N55 and N20/N26
I had both my chargepipe/TIC chargepipe replaced with ER anodized black. It's for piece of mind. It did allow better airflow and throttle response, engine revs much smoother.
The TIC chargepipe is a rubber hose and it really does compress under boost.
When I saw the plastic chargepipe when it was taken out, I could see and feel how flimsy and restrictive it was, also looked like it was about to crack at the lip on the throttle body side.
Since you track, I would recommend replacing both at the same time as you have to drop Intercooler anyways, it'll feel much smoother and one less thing you'll worry about breaking.
