It all depends on what boost you end up hitting-----your proposed setup is a recipe for boost creep/blown motor. If your wastegate isn't ported, then it's probably not a good idea to try it out. If you do, keep an eye on the boost gauge as your rpms rise!

To run that pipe and have no worries, here's what you need:
- boost controller (the pfc uses the stock solenoids, and may not stop boost spikes)
- ported wastegate (prevents boost creep)

You can install it and look for boost creep before getting the wastegate ported. The first time you run the car with the midpipe, do it in a place where you can safely run boost tests. If you set your boost and yet sometimes it still rises past maximum, you have boost creep.

It's not your mods that determine your map as much as your boost setting. Your boost must stay under 11psi for a PFC base map, IIRC.
