Does LICP matter?

Hi guys.

Into modding, I'm deciding whether an aftermarket LICP is preferable.
To my knowledge, OEM vs. ETS/AMS/aftermarket LICP doesn't yield much of a difference (taking a cursory look at all of those designs).
My mods will be AMS 3.5 IC, ETS intake, Synapse DV, ETS UICP, and exhaust stuff.

Will stock LICP fit my needs? (given the intake, DV combo)

Thanks guys.

Just keep the stock LICP and spend the money elsewhere.

I'm currently at 360/360 on 25psi of boost with no issues. Soon to be around 500whp and still don't forsee any issues.

I have the LICP but it's already all hard pipe except the elbow into the throttle body. Not sure it's worth it.

If you're on a stock turbo or a stock appearing turbo then yeah it's pointless.

Won't need it unless you upgrade your turbo
