modified up-pipe
ok If i get one of the up pipes (sneaky pipes) is that all i need to do? I am saying what else is part of doing one of these up-pipes? Or is it better to just run a plug in the pipe and weld her shut?

If you have the resources you can modify your own pipe. Here is the before and after all in one picture of how I did mine. The finished pipe is above with the piece removed welded shut which is used to block off the EGR cooler. I roll the turbo out, unbolt the up pipes and ****** the whole assembly out the top.

But driving the freeze plug only solves half the problem.

The 04 the original poster has doesn't have the scoop in the up pipe, so you can actually just drive a plug into the pipe feeding the cooler.
