I am not an expert, nor will I ever be - however I am going to say likely not. The boost pressure is regulated by a combination of the ECU, and readings taken from the manifold pressure sensor which control the turbo wastegate. You'll likely throw overboost code P0234, and the car will not run any better....

that being said however, if you replace the turbocharger, and upgrade the piping and get an ECU reflash (don't know much about this though) you may stand to gain some serious performance increase. As this site is geared more towards maintenance and keeping our beloved cars working you may find some better info on the likes of turbobricks.com (not a plug in any means....but they are more into the tuning and performance aspect) - likely more in depth than my shadetree two cents.

Best,
Steve
