would a boost controller be able to control the boost? i have read that it can, but people still get their wastegates ported. i am just trying to get a straight answer.

boost controller wont be able to handle it. i don't know where you read that but from everything on this forum says if you go w/ mp you need porte the wategate and you also need to upgrade/replace your stock ecu.
easiest thing if you do not want to port the wastegate & upgrade ecu is put the main cat back on or get a high flow cat.
15lbs is way too much. You WILL get det.
there are MANY threads on this issue just do a few searches.

there are other sides to an equation and in this case if you search the threads on this forum you will see strong support to port and upgrade ecu.
If your running 15psi it obvious your running too high. even 13psi is too much. i think the safest is running
10psi w/ stock fuel setting other wise you may run lean.
ehh, but what do i care its not my car.

The easiest thing is a restrictor plate. I use it and I can control boost easily with my ProfecB. No need for porting - but I do loose some power this way. Hell... loose some, gain some

ProfecB on its own cant control boost CREEP. It can open wastegate fully but the airflow can still be too big and thus causing boost creep (e.g. non-controllably rising boost)

all you need is a dual solenoid boost controller which can operate the wastegate faster+moreaccurately
