Default The 1.8T makes extensive use of the ECU to fine tune fuel delivery and boost delivery...

Fooling the ECU into allowing higher boost levels does nothing but harm if more fuel isn't delivered at the same time. Look into a chip...

Default i can't speak for non-DBW, but a Boost Controller will work with a DBW car

fuel is controlled by the amount of air metered by the MAF, so getting enough fuel is not a problem
