Is this a full decat??
If so you may have some problems with boost spikes (not good btw).
A remap would be a much safer way of tuning with a decat, your gains would be significanly better that way also
A knocklink and boost gauge would be my first recommendations to see what the car is doing.

Hello Tony,this is not the full de-cat. Who offers the best remap in your opinion and what is a knocklink.
