What specific issue with 17 psi do you mean?

You could just use one program specifically for 17 psi and tune it for that. It wouldn't be optimal at 15psi (boost table max) but it wouldn't hurt anything.

If you use an aftermarket EMS, I don't see why you couldn't use an aftermarket bar sensor (3 bar GM sensor). That sensor will be good for about 30psi of boost.

1 bar ~= 14.7 psi of pressure
2 bar of gauge pressure ~= 29.4 psi

Can't use a 3 bar MAP sensor with the PMS.
