Knock sensors will pull a couple degrees if needed, I wouldn't worry. But you can run some Boostane or Torco for peace of mind
This^.

People need to stop associating boost numbers with octane and safety. You can run 15psi on 93 all day safely. You just don’t want to run 18° of advance with the knock sensors desensitized. The closed loop fueling and active/adaptive knock is a huge fail safe on these ECU’s.

I run 13 psi all day on 93 with 17.5° S/A above 6600. Zero timing retard.

Choose your tuner wisely.

I guess these things don't have an IAT2 sensor, do they. But they do have widebands, so you might wanna check w your tuner. Ya 12.5 is on the lean end under boost IIRC, hi 11s is a whole lot safer.
