That's what I would do, personally. No reason to throw parts at the car if not needed.

It is the most frustrating thing to deal with when you are putting 490whp to the ground and the entire car just dies into limp mode for no reason.
This past Friday, 3/6, I had the M4 flywheel installed and while I haven't been driving the car a lot, due to rain and a busy work schedule, I wanted to provide my observation about this issue.

After the PS2 install and before the M4 flywheel, if I was pushing 17+ psi above 6k rpm, my car would misfire and sometimes threw codes and went into limp mode as Houtan mentioned. Since the flywheel swap I haven't had misfires where I used to. This was with only the flywheel, the BEF was the same and I only increased the duty-bias on map 6 to raise the boost.
