Yes this is possible. It's not directly a boost setting but rather a max torque target. But the end result is what you guys are after.

in anticipation of my eqt turbo install this coming monday i have done the following purchases:
1) ngk racing 9 spark plugs
2) autotech hpfp internals
3) intercooler upgrade
4) fluidampr
i already have cts turbo engine/tranny mounts, dkm twin disk clutch, 034 upper and lower dog bone mounts, cts turbo catless turbo back exhaust, cts turbo intake.
anything else you would advise ed?
also what oil would you suggest for your turbo and what oil change interval would be ideal?

Motul Sport 5w-40 and every 7500 miles.
I don't see a downpipe on your list. Pretty sure that's either highly recommended/pretty much mandatory. Here are Patrick at EQT's comments when I posed some questions....
"To support the vortex turbo, you will need the intercooler, downpipe, intake, ngk racing spark plugs and a high pressure pump upgrade at
a minimum. If you plan on doing ethanol blends, the low pressure fuel
pump would also be needed."
I would advise getting a different clutch. and replacing your CTS Turbo engine/trans mounts with BFI.
Is this option from you personal experience or what Ed suggested? I've hear a lot of people talking about motul and liquimoly as good oils for our cars.
Yup, got the downpipe [emoji1417]

Why's that? Twin disk is rated to handle more than enough.

I've read that and there are plenty of us without issues. If it didn't happen to him yet then he's prob ok. Changing turbo has no bearing on the crank walk.

I've read through all the dkm clutch threads and mine has been so solid so far. I'm one of the lucky ones. No problems from the get go and just finished my break in at 1400km and it's only gotten better.
I'm currently unitronic stage 2 tuned and it holds the power amazingly.
Only problem I currently have is my clutch pedal rarely has a sticky feeling. Best way I can describe it is like gum on the bottom of your shoe and you feel that little stick when you walk.

And after reading the crank walk thread, it says that it's an innate problem in the engine manufacturing and the clutch just brought it the failure faster.
Regardless of clutch, if it's gonna happen to your engine, it'll happen sooner or later.
It is not the clutches fault, nor is it clutch dependant.
