You will have to run it on aftermarket management. The original ECU can not work with boost. You could set it up like the Lynx low boost Rotrex kits where youre basically fooling the Ecu into not seeing boost by putting the map sensor and throttle body before the charger but it's just a bodge tbh and you will get through chargers fairly quickly. Also, the Ecu would still need a new map which by the time you have paid for that (not cheap a they can't be live mapped) you could probably fit and map a second hand omex or similar.
The eatons are a great charger but they aren't quiet. Much cheaper than fitting a Rotrex and imo deliver a much much better power band. Fit a Rotrex and you will actually have less power than standard until about 6k. Have a look at mine and Stefs project threads if you want any pics of how we have done it.
Don't expect amazing power figures from it but remember it's a completely different animal to a rotrex. To give you an idea, a Lynx low boost is roughly 250hp. Mine is 215 and yet mine will happily sit next to a low boost all day long because you're not waiting hours for it to make its power lol. Can expect peak torque at about 4-4.5k
