they should hold fine with high boost, if they leak you can always get the forge.
3 - And for the air intake, I've got a K&N right now in the stock airbox. How many of you upgraded your intakes too to a Mr. 5 or Helix style (or a CAI I suppose)? Or is the K&N sufficient (which is all that Cobb seems to recommend - a panel filter is one of the choices they said is ok)?
Best would be a Mr. 5 or Helix style if you dont want to go DCI, Injen etc.

Ciao Enrita, thanks a lot for the quick reply!
Couple more questions please:
1 - If my DV's do fail, then I assume I'll just get a code / go into limp mode? Is it ok to keep driving the car then, and stay off of boost? Maybe switch to stock map? Because if I have to go buy the Forge DV's then, it might take a week to get them in, for example.
2 - For the intake, if I haven't had time yet to make my stock airbox into a Helix style and I go to the track with just the K&N as the upgrade, what's the impact? Anything bad, like a possible limp mode? Or just that you can't make as much power as you'd be able to otherwise?
