If there is an issue with the cars hardware running higher boost levels will expose those issues. That said the F10 M5 is a completely different system with pneumatic wastegate control, nothing like the F90 M5 with it's electronic wastegate control. I've never heard of a misfire issue with the F90 or even a failed plug or coil. And the boost control with EWG is much better with or without a JB4.
