I wouldn't think so since you're not really forcing in enough air to totally through off the ecu, but with these modern cars you just never know.

i would just say it's not worth messing with a turbo and all of the costs and hassle involved for such a small amount of boost. i'd also say that if you're gonna turbo it you might as well tune it since you can handle like 3x that on a stock motor no problem
