My tires can take 15 psi of boost in 2nd gear, and more I am sure. Your chirp may be to shifting technique.
So the exhaust will wait. Get a K&N 33-2663 and modify the air box, remove the turbo discharge silencer and grind out the step ID reduction in the small end of the throttle body transition casting (TBTC). These will improve things a lot and the TBTC rework will make the engine run smoother and deliver more power at the same time.
Changing the boost does not effect the fuel mapping of off-boost conditions. The fraction of time on boost is rather small, so mpgs are not affected unless you modify you driving habits completely.
The turbo is perhaps the most durable component in the drive system. No need to worry about it. Keep your plugs and injectors in good condtion, and use premium fuel. Avoid any fuels marked with higher ethanol content. Use a better engine oil. Never replace the K&N swapped end for end after cleaning or inspection.
