How are you planning to increase boost? MBC and bypassing the factory BPC?

I was going to get a piggy back and a boost controller

Do you have any certain goal for the car or just want more power out of it? I'm pretty sure that the stock ECU can handle a little more boost, but problem is you have quite a small turbo. Another 2-4psi won't hurt anything, but anything more is just going to be hot air with no real benefit. You'd be exceeding the turbo's limit...

If i know what the block can handle i can get a bigger turbo.
