Default how do you get more torque?

i had my car dyno'd and i was wondering how i can make more torque. i have an apexi kit in my d16z6. i have seen homemade turbo kits make about as much torque as they do horsepower. here is my dyno sheet. http://www.we-todd-did-racing....D.jpg

The homemade kits usually run smaller compressors or turbines that kill off top end flow... don't confuse equal tq and hp figures for the loss of tq in the higher rpms due to a restrictive turbo which leads to lower hp ffigures. For 6 psi I'd say your car is making what it should.

As far as increasing tq, though... more displacement or more boost, my stunna friend
