Default Coolant Pipe Failure. Add me to the list.

Been reading and hearing about this and it HAPPENED.

I was planning on a great day at the Streets of Willow with the POC, made about 3-4 laps in the first session and then got the "meatball" flag. A driver who is a tech at P dealership confirmed the ugly situation

Luckily no spins, going off track, etc. by other drivers or myself.

So my question is what should be done other than the coolant pipe issue with almost 50K on the odometer?
Upgraded clutch (no slipping yet, but the ECU is flashed by EPL with standard K16s) by SACHS, Clutch Masters, etc?
IPD plenum?
???

Thank you for your input

If you're doing the clutch, single mass flywheel?

If you are refering to a lightweight flywheel. What are the pros and cons?
This is my weekend cruiser and track car.

Here are the 8 fittings you will have to weld. The 6 piece ebay kit will take the place of the straight fittings. and the 2 j-pipes have to be re-used.
