Welcome to the forum!

Please read through the newbie sticky. Most are fine with those two mods but some have required a boost controller to keep boost from rising above the stock 10 psi. Get a boost gauge before you do anything.

mabye a koyo rad or a fluidine also...

Do you have a boost gauge in your car? Install one first before you do anything to ensure that your boost pattern is normal which, if you don't know, is 10-8-10, which you can test for driving WOT in 3rd gear.

And every car responds to modification a little differently. That said, the stock ECU should handle those two mods just fine, but as a rule, keep max boost at 10 PSI for reliabilty's sake.

Here's a good reference to read through:

i just have a downpipe and catback right now. mechanic says while he was testing my car that my boost was spiking to ~10.5psi. he recommend i get a boost gauge to monitor things and also either a boost controller to make sure to keep it down or an aftermarket ecu (pref. an apexi power fc) for better tuning.
