We are talking RWHP and you said untuned PFC which I would take as stock maps! You would run it on a stock engine or lightly modded engine. Such a engine you should not run past about 11PSI for safety. At 12psi about 300RWHP.

My car is lightly modded so far only a downpipe and intake. Next is the cat-back, wastegate and vaccuum hoses (both for reliabilty), then fuel injectors and intercooler. I won't up the boost until I rebuild (and port) the engine. I was wondering if the pfc could handle all that and more untill I get it tuned.

Many say the stock maps can handle about three small mods but not MP.
If you go Intake, DP, and catback that is about it. Now we are talking mods that increase air flow. A larger IC does not increase air flow.

True, a larger IC might have less boost drop across it.
But; at a set PSI boost read at the LIM or UIM, the flow is the same. The difffernce is how hard the turbos have to work to produce the same boost.
As far as air temperature goes, small IC will cool just as well as a large IC in winter.
So what mods improve air flow regardless of outside temperatures?
