What chip are you going for? What model year is your car?
I believe there may be better options for you if you are then wanting to increase boost.
Edit - sorry just seen your other post. The PPP "chip" on the MY01/02 is only a boost increase, so all you need is a fuel cut defender if you are going to continue using the Dawes. But you have to be disciplined and informed about the sensible limits.

17 PSI would be sensible. HKS FCD allows you to raise the fuel cut to say just under 20 PSI.
Of course you don't get the warranty if you do it this way.

A manual boost controller - eg Dawes (£36) or just change the size of the restrictor on the turbo outlet. The fuelling will be fine up to and beyond 19 PSI most likely, but the problem is heat and back pressure from the turbo - best stick to about 17 PSI for safety IMHO.
