Has it been remapped after your install as I wouldn't drive on boost without a remap

If it's not been mapped, WHY are you revving past 5500rpm?

I wouldnt recommend giving it any as your charge temps will be all over the place as the ecu won't know what's up

Spray some ladies hair spray on the reducers & clamp them down. The pipes will never blow off.

You do that during mapping.
Do it before at the car's peril

I'd remove the top FMIC pipes and put the TMIC back on. Easy to do and just refit the pipes when you go for mapping
