Default Nick Williams 102mm DBW

I was thinking of switching over to DBW throttle body and looking at the Nick Williams and ditching my Wilson 105mm, looking and reading while getting ready to buy it noticed it says not recommended for forced induction cars? Anyone know anything about this or have and details or reasoning for this? (Aside from failure)

The NW102 has a tendency to over rotate when at WOT. High airflow amounts (boost) can cause it to push the blade back slightly and set 2101 codes. Not uncommon to have issues that cannot be tuned out. I have heard you can reclock them and adjust the stop, haven't tried myself. I would use a TPIS unit over the NW.
