Since you'll have to remove a bunch of stuff from that area anyways to install the new turbo, it would be a perfect time to replace the boost pipe. Probably want to replace the intercooler to charge pipe pipe as well at that point. ER makes a metal one, similar to its charge pipe.

But if you're on stock turbo, the stock boost pipe should be fine. Mine looked mint still.
i won't be upgrading the turbos so i'm guessing no need to upgrade the boost pipe than? also, I didn't know there was an aftermarket pipe between the intercooler to charge pipe. i'll have to check out ER. do you know what it's called exactly?
