Nope. It there was, we wouldn't be spending $1k on ECU upgrades :). When the ECU sees 20psi when its only trying to make 15, it will throw codes and try to compensate, in turn running like crap.
 
I don't know what the threshold is, but I do know that when the ECU sees a higher boost than it is trying to make, it uses the OEM boost control solenoid, via a PWM signal, to control the boost level.
 
also how much more power did u get with that controller installed?
No power increase with the controller. It's simply an upgrade to the factory part which tends to fail prematurely.
