I have the same DP on standby not installed yet. Would you mind giving a little review on the before and after? I heard it cuts the turbo lag in half.

I can definitely say I have more power and I couldn't tell you about the turbo lag I think its faster but, I do have the ER Chargepipe installed before the downpipe.
I will try to get a dyno as soon as I can I am wondering what my current power is with my mods.

Most notable was the increase in the mid power range from 30mph+ and it sounds a lot louder which I like.

Current Mods
JB4 map 2 or 5 on 93 octane
AFE intake
Remus Quad Axleback Exhaust
Custom Straight Pipe
Evolution Racewerks Charge Pipe
H&R Sport Springs
Rohana RC-10 F20x9 R20x10 Wheels
AR Design Catted Down Pipe

I actually just installed this same dp over the weekend. fits real nice and def adds some sound upgrade. There is some drone, but I would say more so in higher gears. As for the codes, i have a JB4 so no codes. Its only been a few days now, but so far its been great.

If I remember I had a little bit of drone because I removed the mid resonator off of the exhaust.
Fitment was perfect!
