Hopefully someone can help me out...in addition to changing the OEM charge pipe, which I'm considering going with VRSF...is there any other precautionary or preemptive components to consider (intercooler, downpipe, etc)....if there's no intention of going to any other "performance" enhancements (not tracking or doing bootmode)?

*Essentially looking to get any additional components, done at the same time as the charge pipe

**Posted the question in my country of origin, but haven't heard any feedback, so attempting here

there is always the other side of the intercooler which is the inlet pipe that can be changed out for reliability if you want to tune your car I would recommend a downpipe and an upgraded intercooler. please let me know if you have any other questions

Appreciate the feedback!! Primary function, will be utilized as daily (no plans of tuning in the short term),but I'll definitely consider the inlet pipe, charge pipe & the "mickey-mouse" flange (after doing some further research) - - which connects the cylinder head to the thermostat hose.

With those 3 changes, should be rock-solid...thanks once again for reaching out!!

No doubt, I don't play around when it comes to maintenance!!

It doesn't matter what you have/drive, it's how you maintain-it!!
