I run an mbc (set at 14 pounds of boost) with a with a similar exhaust setup and I have had no problems. Just keep the boost reasonable unless you get a tune. Too much boost and not enough fuel makes for a bad day. Having said that, a boost gauge is your best friend when your setting your mbc. When used with some restraint it is a great bang for buck mod.

Are we talking about P2 model, 2004+?
If so, get a forge CBV and you`ll gain 2-3 psi. Not to forget rock steady boost and no fade..
