No catch cans (I don't track and they were always empty, just extra money and more chances of leaks)
Change the vacuum line for the bypass actuator from the boost side of the SC to the intake side. I know the new ones are beefier, but there is zero reason to put boost into that actuator diaphragm.

If I had done all that on day one I would have just had a lovely experience instead of doing R&D work for 14 of the 18 months I had it on the car.
I was going to put off my header but decided to do it now to save the retune fee. The rest of my exhaust is stock (on purpose to be quiet). I will now wonder how much I'm giving up doing that but not sure it would get me to make it much louder. I had a full exhaust STX twin a long time ago and don't want that again.
