no.. you will have a 3port boost solenoid as standard which is well upto the job..

however you will need to sort another map sensor or another form of boost control.. either manual boost controller or electronic boost controller.
As the standard map sensor only allows upto 1bar with the PowerFC installed.

dawes device being the most basic and cheapest effective way to control the boost above the 1bar limit imposed by the PFC when using the standard map sensor yes.. electronic boost controller being better but costing more.

safe boost limit will depending on the mods on the car.. main limits being the standard top mount intercooler and the injectors.

PM on the way.
