If you have to ask this question, then a boost controller is not for you. Bugeyes were ok to use boost controllers untuned IF you knew exactly what you were doing. Later models were much more finicky. Your car is not a DSM. You can't simply turn up the boost without adding fuel.

Correct... You can to tune the car with the boost controller to run it safely. Otherwise you will run a high risk of engine damage.
