Question Boost Creep / Spike on a '08 rex?

So the stage 2 parts came in today ..

Invidia Cat-less DP
Invidia N1 'Race'
Cobb AP

And now im reading that the newer models of the WRX/STI have boost problems (creep / spike) when a cat-less DP is used. If this is true .. is there any short term / long term effects of this? And what is a permanent cure for this issue .. i don't even know if I'm going to have this problem but im just so afraid that my car is going to grenade lol

my OCD is getting the best of me.

the car should come out of the shop today or tomorrow, and i plan on getting it pro-tuned right around Christmas time. that way i can use all that sweet christmas cash for the tune. I'm not to sharp on the acronyms guys, so enlighten me on BCS lol


^^never mind that .. i did searching and found my answer .. im assuming i should get the BCS and the tune at the same time?

Yes. Install the BCS before the tune.
