huh?
isn't the whole purpose of a MBC.. set up stand alone, to limit the amount of boost? Wouldn't matter what chip you were running right? set the boost level and it shouldn't go past that level.
hmmmmmm

You'll most likely need a TCD
MBC only ramps up boost quicker than with parallel. The throttle cut occurs when the ECU detects excessive deviation between actual and requested boost, which is why we asked about software. Different files have different boost curves. GIAC-X on A box is one of the more aggressive setups, but you *may* find that the inital ramp-up of mbc only may cause TC.

haven't experienced throttle cut yet.
Althought I do understand your point on the delta between requested and actual.
Will keep a close eye on it and see how it goes.
Thx

Can I use a boost controller to raise my boost a small amount over the 14-15psi set by GIAC reflash?
