You forgot the DV+. haha. Good choice of mods But what you gonna use to suppress the CHeck Engine Light when you put on the Downpipe?
Get BM3 tune and avoid the Piggy back unless you want to stack the JB4 and a backend flash.

You're already knee deep in it man... Do as the man above says... get the BM3 before you even put that rest of that stuff on. Get a LPFP while you're at it as well. You'll be good for a while... Stage 2 BM3 tune and you're money. Also, are you doing all this work yourself?

That's what I was thinking... If they do a good job that's a really good price.

Looks like a good list. Congrats.
I agree, next is bm3. Let me know what the shop thinks of the fitment of the CP to throttle body. |

Word of waring about the VRSF DP, I have about 15 hours of my time into my install and 3 of a professional shop, and it still isn't fitting. It's gonna require some serious modification to get it to fit. Word of advice: if it even seems a little bit like it won't fit, don't keep trying, take it out, get your money back and buy a different downpipe.

I had my VRSF downpipe installed on my n20 engine last week. Shop told me no problems - fitment was near perfect. No exhaust leaks, no rattles, nada.

Guess I got unlucky. It didn't fit neither at the top nor bottom connections. My shop told me it was 20/1000's of an inch off at the top connection. Close, but no cigar. Getting it filed down to fit, but an expensive PITA to say the least.

My VRSF chargepipe was too loose at the throttle body for my liking. I sent it back today and will likely go with afe

For Charge Pipes, I have had great luck with the FTP. No issues with their latest redesign that utilizes the O rings on the inside. Fit great and also heard there are no fitment issues when going to different intercoolers like other bigger name brands have from forum members.
As for Downpipe, I use to run the an eBay pipe Either PLM or Circuit works, can't remember but no issues with fitment either. Now it's been modified for the current turbo setup, haha.

They're pre-gapped to 0.030", so you'll just need something like a blade gauge and the trusty hammer to get them down. Simple process.
