Should be fine. I'd look into a controller or ECU after that though. And definitely get a boost gauge.

as what my buddy heath says , your straight with a DP and intake , but after that get a remapped or new ecu bottom line. The only other option would be using a pin to keep boost down but ecu is better

With DP and intake, your boost will likely be over 11 psi. I wouldn't drive the car (with those mods) without a boost gauge. You will need a boost controller to keep it at 10 psi.
