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.

OP says he has a warranty on the new engine. I wouldn't mess with charge pipe, IC or DP if its a stock tune and there is warranty.

All the things you mentioned are probably true, but whether or not it matters in the real world, I think is up for debate. I would personally spend the $ for those mods on RE71R tires and put the rest towards HPDE fees and call it a day.
