I would think it would be dangerous for your controller to use the wrong boost setting for your tune. It seems like it could result in your engine running too rich or too lean. If that is the case, is there any way for the EBC to communicate with the EMS to make sure this doesn't happen?
Some boost controller have the ability to save 2 preset for boost levels. For example.. DD and track (race gas).. There are more expensive boost controller than can communicate with certain ECU.. but your talking aftermarket ECU's. The FlashPro has the ability to set boost cut.. so you have a boost limit set.. example for pump.. you set it at 10.5.. so even if you accidently set your boost controller for more than 10.5.. the ECU will only allow 10.5 before boost cut..
