Don't know what's up with M2 but you can run a mp with the stage ecu. Had one myself and the ecu has a pretty rich map from what I recall. I was safe with the mp from what M2 told me so long as I stayed below 12 psi.

I would strongly advise against running an M2 computer + midpipe.

What matters is NOT the boost level, but the combination of boost level + airflow. You can have two cars running 13 PSI and if one is bone stock with an M2 and the other is fully modded with exhaust/MP/DP/Intake and all that and the M2... the one with the greater overall airflow will be more at risk of blowing up.

I was running a M2 stage 3 with intake/dp/mp/cb and 14 psi. Guess what? Ran really hard for like a year then blew up. I don't blame them at all though, they TOLD me not to do it, but I did it anyhow, so it's my fault on that Anyhow, I'm single turbo now with PowerFC, but that's a whole different story....

If you want to run a midpipe, I'd say the safer bet is a PowerFC + bigger injectors + dyno time to get it tuned.

That was me for about a year. I had no ill effects but kept boost to 12 and still ran rich. Engine still in in my case. As posted by wargasm, may be different for you.
