Default Get a MBC, possibly? Locks down what your maximum boost can be... [ updated ]

... at least a few guys are doing this. <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1584287.phtml">You run it in parallel with the N75</a>. $20 in parts to do.

Just lock down the MBC to the max boost you think the ECU won't crap out on.

Default Plenty of the PEB guys (and others too) are doing that.

Though a good MBC goes for $40 or so.

TCD will also prevent your car from seeing the added boost and going into limp mode.
