DP and Catback mod

Hey, i just installed a DP, Efini Y-pipe, and a Catback exhaust this weekend. I have some concerns about some reliability concerns with these mods. I know by doing these mods i will definetly increase by one or two psi. I know these are the reliablity mods but the concern is that it does add more power and i'm afraid of leaning with these mods and spiking in boost. I heard from people after doing the whole exhaust i should consider upgrade the management. which i have plans on getting a Power FC next. Is there anything i can do at the moment to prevent possible detonation w/ the current mods. I also have my eye on a intake upgrade. but it seems like too much for the stock fuel curve. If someone says it would be cool if i have the intake/DP/exhaust and Y-pipe. I would go ahead and invest on it. Well please get back to me on what my status is w/ these current mods and how to make it even more reliable. I'm just really scared of overboosting. Thanks

Monitor your boost with a boost gauge, if you see it go past 12, better let off the throttle. If you don't have a boost gauge, just don't drive it hard at all. The downpipe is actually the biggest mod thing that contributes to boost spiking. But a good engine management will take care of this problem. Good luck!
