If you plan on doing those mods.... I would recommend the Charge Pipe upgrade for sure, no question asked.

Once you tune and increase boost, the stock one may fail more quickly as it was designed for lower pressures, so this is where an aftermarket one can come in handy. |

Agreed. I have an ER Charge Pipe, and OCC is on the way. Just search around of pictures of stuff people have found in theirs and you will be convinced to get one.

Yes. It will also extend the life of your engine,even if its pure stock.

It will extend the life on your engine as the catch can will collect oil,moisture and blow by gas to keep the intake components clean.

I dont think so. The only way to extend the oil change intervals is using a quality fully synthetic oil, like Castrol Edge, Red Line,Royal Purple,Pennzoil Platinum or similar. I personally use Castrol Edge With Titanium. I do my oil change intervals in my 135i, at 3/3.5K miles, but you can go to 5-6K miles and you will still be on the safe side,I just like my oil to be always as fresh as possible,it all depends on your driving style.
