As Ari says, using the MBC without caution to detonation can lead to engine damage. That's why Saab does not ship this engine from the factory this way. Reverting back to the APC/BPC will allow the engine to run safely. However, Aero's still REQUIRE premium fuel since the base boost is set higher than not-Aeros and the APC can only dial boost back to base boost. Running low octane fuel can lead to engine damage.
As far as mechanics are concerned, if I were a mechanic I would not recommend my customers using an MBC. It requires a "performance freak" to be aware of the potential problems. But, on the other hand the T5 engine management system can deal with many mods and this is one it seems to handle well, assuming you run high octane fuel.
