Yes, make sure you upgrade your fuel system before running that much of boost. Power FC is a way of tuning your car, but you need to make sure you have the parts to support the tunning.

PFC will work if you use the data logit I think... replace MAP sensor and tell it to boost at what ever... I am pretty sure

The power fc can handle almost 17 psi...which is the limit of the stock map sensor. If you change the map sensor the power fc can handle it..
