You should go get a real tune. While the OTS maps are good, they're not great. Go get a tune specific to YOUR car.

I would contact Cobb and get their opinion. If you're adjusting boost with the mbc then getting a real tune is your safest bet.

Hey Man,

As it turns out we do not recommend you use a manual boost controller with our maps. Given your mods I would recommend you either upgrade your car with a full turbo back exhaust, run the stock ECBS and run our stage 2 map calibrated for your intake. Or, you can have a pro-tuner create a custom map for you. Here is a link to our dealers and tuners. You can use the link to find a pro-tuner that is located near by.

Stage 2 should be fine as long as you do not do multiple consectutive pulls, without a full turboback you can buildup heat in the exhaust system that can cause knock.

Yes. Stage 3 is not compatible with stock solenoids, you remove both factory solenoids and replace it with one that can actually control boost efficiently.
