You'll need to run eaither a boost fooler or a box that modifies the map signal. Somthing like a drag comp or Edge Juice with attitude. In reality I dont think your fueling enough to throw a over boost code but always a possibility. No harm done just a little annoying!

The ECM will cut fueling if you do not have something plugged into the MAP harness. So even if you locked down the gate, it may never get to an overboost condition.

But there is no sense in raising boost anymore than required to do the job.
