Default de-cat boost question

as far as i know if i fitted a de-cat pipe it will affect the boost hence the need to remap the car but with my car having a hks boost controler could i get away without mapping it and just setting the boost via it?? cheers

Is this a Classic or New Age?
Generally the boost difference from a decat and the changes it makes to your existing map are insufficient to warrant a remap. Nice to have a remap but usually not essential.
Why are you fitting a boost controller? Do you have boost control issues?
Or what turbo are you running and what turbo do you plan to run?
Which ECU?

Decatting it will make a slight but not signifigant boost increase and not so much as your boost controller will notice.
