The stock ECU will allow a max of ~15psi before fuel cutoff. You can use an external boost controller to raise boost for about $30 - $70 (Try dawesdevices.com or abbottracing.com). There are also some electronically controlled boost controllers for a bit more. Ask Dean more specific questions about boost controll...he's the local expert and sometimes he's a nice guy. But before you raise boost, it will be a good idea to open up the intake and exhaust. I currently have the dawesdevices boost controller and a modified airbox with K&N drop in air filter (don't use an open element air filter as it will only draw in hot air and kill your performance). I'm working on the exhaust, but as much as I use boost, it almost seems like I don't need it. Other than that, you'll have to have an ECU upgrade, which will raise boost somewhere between ~18-20psi.
