Your fine Benny. I ran with a dp/catback/IC/Intake on the stock fuel maps and I had no problems except some boost spkies.

Up to 16 psi a few times.. whooaaa trigger,

But You should be fine just keep off the mid pipes until you get some sort of upgraded ECU.



I got away with it for 6 months or so.
