Default Tuning w/ boost creep in mind...does it matter?

I just bought a turbo kit for my EF, so in a couple of weeks I'll be on my way to the darkside for the first time. Basically I plan on running around 10 psi, however I'd like to have the piece of mind that my motor will be tuned for boost creep. Is this possible? Can the ecu detect and the fuel settings be automatically adjusted if my turbo accidentially boosts to 15 psi (which hopefully won't happen). Therefore the a/f ratio would remain the same and and I wouldn't have to worry about detontation. Btw, I'll be using crome.

dont know about your chrome but with hondata you can preset boost limit so if creeps, it`ll cut off..

might as wel tune it for 15lbs to be safe. and if u have a stock map sensor you only be able to go just over 10 psi. and crome has a safety feature where if you over boost it goes into a safety mode or boost cut. if u tune at 15 psi and run 10 psi is ok and better than tuning for 10 and over boosting. hope that helps
