Best and easist way to increase boost is to buy a boost control valve, apart from being able to increase over all boost, they improve boost at the bottom end, meaning even if you set the valve low you still get a general power inrease (more boost) at low revs, meaning less turbo lag.

Be warned though, use only the best fuel if you plan on using one, or you can distroy your engine, and you won't be able to go higher than 14psi either, because that's when the fuel cut out cuts in on 700 turbos.

The above link is to an Australian made unit, at $107 Aus for the base model, it's prity cheap, but there are probally US made units where you are that are just as cheap.
