You're talking about the turbo to intercooler pipe right? It's perfectly fine for stock turbo. Only reason to upgrade is if you go PS2

A shop here told me to keep it stock, that they see more problems with aftermarket pipes than oem. I haven't seen anything about this being a weak link, even with upgraded turbo. Doesn't mean it wouldn't look perdy though 😊

But yea, both lower charge pipe and the turbo outlet pipe are fine on stock turbo. The reason the upper charge pipe fails is due to the sensor introducing a weak point. The lower charge pipe has no such weak point.

edit: so here's the kit i could be wrong tho?? i'll have to do more research here's the link to the LIC which to me has to be the left side piping. unless this is the right side pipe but in one piece? fack i don't know lol here's the description: Retains factory style o-ring lock flange. Precision CNC machined flange ensures leak free connection to the turbocharger and intercooler. Quick and easy connection and disconnection. Ideal connection compared to the silicone hose and hose clamp connection found in all other aftermarket charge pipe upgrades available in the marketplace. https://x-ph.com/evolution-racewerks...arge-pipe-lic/

The pictures you are now linking are the turbo outlet pipes, yes. I don't know if they're supposed to be called charge pipes or not, but I call them turbo outlet pipes because it's more clear, and it's pretty descriptive of what they are. OP is a bit ambiguous as to which pipe he is referring to, since he just called it "turbo boost pipe" which is not really indicative of which pipe, so I just assumed he was talking about the turbo outlet pipe. How to tell the difference: The turbo outlet you can draw a straight line through from inlet to outlet. The lower charge pipe you cannot, and looks more like a periscope.
