Question VRSF chargepipe. Anything I need to do?

Ive been contemplating on buying a VRSF chargepipe, after I've read that the stock one is prone to breaking under boost pressure since its plastic.

I dont unfortunately know much about tuning a car or modifying the engine, so do I need to perhaps change something else too with the chargepipe, or am I good to go by just installing it?

Just install no need for tune. 0 performance gains

You can upgrade the charge pipe without any other mods. Although I would recommend if you plan to upgrade the car further, replace the intercooler at the same time as you'll be down there for the charge pipe.

As already mentioned, upgrade the intercooler at the same time since it needs to be removed and re installed to get the new charge pipe installed.

Is it possible to install the charge pipe without removing the intercooler?

Yes, but the under panel should be removed for more access. we have a video of the install thanks to one of our dealers.
BTW The intercooler is only held on my two screws on each side so it's easy to replace.
