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?
You can set your boost controller at any level from the minimum boost (WG spring pressure, ours is 4PSI) up to a maximum boost of 10.5PSI (our recommended maximum) and your car will run safe with no issues AS LONG AS IT WAS TUNED PROPERLY. A good tuner will tune your car to run safe at any boost level and have provisions in the tuning maps that makes it safe just in case you over boost beyond your maximum safe boost level.
