Aftermarket Boost Management

The ECU might be as well.
If you need someone to "remove all the sh*t" from there as well, I might be able to help

First try how it drives after the hardware modifications have been removed though.

will do , should be sorted by xmas, let u know then

ahem ,
I run a greddy boost controller with 2 bars plus of boost.
If the car is mapped for the boost levels correctly, it's reasonably safe. motronic will pull timing should det occur.
if you dont have an afr gauge it will be risky playing with a boost controller.

You contradict yourself in your post.
If motronic is mapped properly, there is no need for a boost controller

You can run 2.2-2.3 bar boost (and probably more) perfectly fine on motronic as well. BTDT.
Also, if you get lean running due to any number of reasons and heavy knock, pulling 3-4 degrees of timing will not save you.

Anyway, why do you need a boost controller with stock engine management?
If you want switchable boost profiles, that's already there. If anyone remotely knowing what he does maps your engine, he can map any boost profile and boost behaviour you ask.

And all the decent aftermarket ECU's have boost control built in.
To me a separate boost controller on a car with that facility already present is like a piggyback. I don't like piggybacks.
