By using a manual boost controller wouldn't it cause cel (overboost code) to come on especially when there is a large climate change (places like Canada)??
From what i have been told, by controling boost via ECU, the ecu knows it is getting more boost so it will not throw a code. Is this true??
From where i live (Canada) i am getting alot of codes poping up due to the cold weather. The last thing i want is MORE CEL popping up every week.
Can i have some more incite?

Yes with the MBC you will see boost spike and level differences. You need to adjust it when the climate is changes.That is why they call it Manual Boost controller.

Does the ZChip have a way to prevent CEL codes from popping up?

I have to disagree. Boost control is part of a system of modifications that the Zchip has access to and that you sell. Totally relevant to the original topic as to how the Zchip works. Just a subset of questions that have yet to be asked. You even address and answered severel questions within this thread regarding boost control and no one accused you of being off topic. Let us all be curtious please.

This is the only reason why I don't want to use a mbc on the evo x. I didn't care on the IX so I used a hallman. Too bad the z-chip does't have some way to use the stock bcs to keep boost the same in changing climates. Otherwise I think its a fine product.

before i am told by the TTP poster that I am off topic that this has to do with the topic at hand and TTP's handling of questions.
I was a potential customer of the zchip, but reading through these threads and observing TTP bicker with other vendors and just straight not answering question or avoiding any discussion by stating it is off topic, has turned me away completely from this product. I didn't get that sense of continued support for your product when something goes wrong or needs updating. Defensiveness in every post doesn't sell products IMO.
Good luck TTP. I went with a more reputable and well supported product and didn't mind shelling out the extra cash either. It's a drop in the bucket when it comes to feeling good about a product and being treated courteously by the representative.

People that spend the time and learn how all the boost control tables work together completely understand how the Ecu controls boost, both on the 8/9 and now on the 10 which uses the same type of tables and control, just with more resolution.
