Jon's car (Philodox) has no issues. We just installed the newest MAP in his car with the dongle still in place and it runs great.

Yup I had the same problem on my car. The wastegate is just too small. Needs some BP to keep it under contro(high flow works great)l. I will be turning up the boost this weekend
so I will share what I learn after that.-Ryan

I also noticed my peak boost dropped after I received my emanage back from Greddy with the updated map. It used to be 7psi (48kPa) but now I'm only getting 6psi(42kPa).
The E-Manage MAP shouldn't affect the boost numbers at all unless the engine is simply putting out WAY less power and, therefore, exhaust. This would be bad and unlikely.
The E-Manage has no provision for boost control.
