Update on BenzWorks & OE Tuning progress
BenzWorks has the down pipe & air filter all ready to go.
I'm currently waiting on OE Tuning to crack the ECU, which should be ready by the next week or so. Note that what they're planning to do IS NOT a piggyback set up or a box. It's going to be an actual tune.
In any case, once the ECU is ready, I'm going to drop it off with them, they'll do the before & after dynos, and I'll let you guys know how everything works out.

It really depends on how much the aftermarket downpipes alter characteristics of the turbo, also depends on if the original tune has the O2 limits raised for the catalyst efficiency codes

I'm pretty certain you would re-tune it, I don't think there would be a problem not re-tuning, but I think you'd gain a lot more in terms of drivability, power, and efficiency from re-tuning...

Update:
Downpipe & BMC custom filter is done. The ECU has not been cracked yet. There's supposed to be something coming down the pike soon, but apparently it's being a pain in the ***.
Jeremy's keeping me up to date and as soon as they crack it, they'll let me know and the car's going in first thing.

I like OE tuning and Jeremy since I have 2 cars with OE tuning. But if the big guys from Germany can't crack the ECU and go with piggyback box, I think this will be a very hard task. Anyway, any picture with the downpipe? Any CEL? and how's the sound? Thanks.

Update:
Still waiting on the ECU getting cracked. Hopefully we'll have something in the next couple weeks. They're tearing at it as hard as they can. Apparently the encryption on the ECU is a serious pain in the ***. I still don't want to go with a piggy back and seeing as how I'm committed to OETuning, I'm going to give them their chance.
As for BenzWorks, I'm going to head over there tomorrow to see if I can at least get some shots of the downpipe for everyone and we'll go from there.
