1. Ditch Emanage and get a real EMS
2. Buy a boost controller
3. Go to a tuner, up the boost to a point where the tuner deems safe, but make the power you want.
4. Enjoy and dont get caught.

California makes it really tough to do much to your car. The Emanage is legal, but much else is going to be illegal. Also, you may have to look into larger injectors. IIRC, the Greddy comes with 310cc injectors which are going to be too small...
