Default New to turbo.. ?

Alright guys. I made a mistake of buying a car i know nothing about. But it does run great and havent had any problems out of it. Its a b20 engine, the only thing i know that has been done to it is something with the sleeves? I have no idea what trim turbo is on it and it doesnt have a brand name on it. But anyway its pushing 8 psi of boost right now and the guy said that its safe up to 12-14 psi but nothing past that.

My ?'s

Its only at 4 psi until the higher rpms then it goes to 8 psi. Is there something i can do to make it build up to 8 instead of 4 at the mid ranged rpms... maybe buy a known turbo or another alt. Suggestions?

What do I have to do to up the boost... i have an external wastegate...?
