go on ebay and buy a hallman manual boost controller or buy one used from someone. They are like 40 dollars.
I have a hallman and it works great, holds boost steady till redline.

If you got $$$ get yourself an electronic boost controller like Apexi AVCR, if not, make yourself a 'Ball-Spring' type manual boost controller for next to nothing 
. Search on this here and u will find plenty on how to make one.

Do you guy's really think you should be telling him how to raise the boost if he doesn't have a clue what he's doing? I can see it now..some guy that knows jack **** about what he's doing (deminstrated that by posting this topic) try's to run 15psi on his "stock" greddy kit......at least give him some knowledge on what he's about to do.....
to answer the question, you need either a manual boost controller (ball and spring) or electronic boost controller that will fool your wastegate.
But you have to make sure you provide more fuel for that extra air. I don't know much about the greddy kits, but i believe that your pretty much stuck with what they are set at or a few psi above that...anymore you''ll need an alternative form of tuning (hondata, hack,etc)..the believe the tuning device (blue/black box) cant compensate enough for the extra air. Unless you have the e-manage, then just retune....
more air + more fuel = more power
more air + same fuel = boom..
You also have to make sure your timing is in check. if your rigging it, retard your base timing via the distributor, or use a btm..stock timing + 10psi is not a good combo..
