I had stage 2 map on mine then when I got my up-pipe installed I could feel the peer differnce. Plus you hear your turbo spool up like crazy.

uppipe is not hard. any monkey with basic tools could do it.
from the top of my head you will need
1. jack and jackstands
2. 10mm(remove bolts from heat shield),12mm(bolts holding the undertray),14mm(every exhaust related bolt and motor mount) sockets and wrenches
3. rachet
4.block of wood is place under the oil pan when you are jacking the motor up(which you dont HAVE to do, but it makes it easier to do sometimes)
5. torque stick
there are plenty of good write ups.
6. o2 sensor socket or 22mm/ 7/8 wrench
7. new gaskets OEM ones are great
Dont worry take your time its not hard.
