You should be fine to stick it on. The upper pipe doesn't really do anything power wise. It'll help spool up the turbo faster, but that's about it.

Yep, it won't affect airflow enough to require a tune so you should be fine

You will be fine. The main reason for the upper pipe is to remove the rubber hose from the mix. The factory rubber hose gets worn and has a tendency to pop off.

Thanks!

i have the short route did the licp and new intercooler then messed with the upper for about 1 hour it just didnt seem to want to fit correctly but after a few smashed fingers i got it on

seems like alot of pressure on the very top coupler and the very bottom almost like the pipe is a little to long

its on and it work though and i can feel a difference in spool

I see. I was thinking the issue was the front bumper too, like Cali2DM mentioned. I'll admit that it can be a puzzle and if you don't have everything lined well it can be a squeeze.
