I'd hope that Cosworth have considered this with this kit, hence why the boost is pegged much lower than what the charger is capable of to help keep the stock bottom end alive
A lot is working against this car's ability to be FI; the whole drivetrain should be considered, not just the motor.

The high compression FA20 doesn't warrant great results boosted without getting into the guts with some lower compression, forged internals, and whatnot
