you need to do some more research.

fuel, spark, ignition.

turn up the pressure without adjusting any of the three above gives you a great see-thru engine.

get "maximum boost", by Corky Bell. it's a book.

See-thru engine, that's funny, only because I had one once.

Seriously kung fu is right, just turning up the boost without adjusting the rest of the inputs is just going to create a big mess. You may want to snoop around over in the f/i forum. Lots of guys doing black magic over there, but be careful they will make your head spin pretty fast.

i agree with everyone's above posts.

But, if you really want to do it; get k-pro, larger injectors, and possibly cold spark plugs. And you'll be set for high boost.

Keep in mind that your turbo might loose efficiency if you put boost too high.
