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?
If the stock DVs leak then you'll get a 30FF code. Swapping back to the stock map should fix your problem until you get whatever parts you need(forge, helix, AWE etc)

A K&N filter should be all you need. Worst case scenario you just won't make as much power as you could. Keep an eye on WGDC just to be sure the turbos are working themselves too hard with the stock air box.
