A boost controller would make absolutely no difference at all. And given your upgrades surpass mine, you should be able to handle 11psi just fine. But to be safe, check it with a wideband to make sure your not leaning out or get some minor tuning done. an safc2 would be fine in your case...

Really? I thought that it holds the boost from opening the wastegate untill pressure reaches 11psi, therefore boost should not drop as much?

Or am i missing something here?

Have you tried using one to see what happens?
