your stock 1.7 bar map is good for about 11 psi

I dout you will need 3 bar later. How much psi are you after?

GM has a 2 bar. the Motorola map is 2.5 I think.

after you upgrade the MAP, I think the internal wastegate is your next bottle neck.

The motorolla 2.5 bar are &lt; $30 new if you can find one. They are also about the size of a nickel so be careful where you plan to mount them.
