the standard boost is speced at about 7.5 - 8 psi, turbo+ i believe upped the peak boost on this (but this is clever managment of the boost verses the power curve and worth about 30bhp) you can adjust the boost the gate opens at by adjusting the waste gate actuator rod - but this is not recomended if you dont know what your doing! - get this wrong and BANG! may be the most expensive sound you will hear!..

basically fit a calibrated boost guage as the fist stage - its easy
then check the health of your engine (compression test, leak down test etc) before even considering upping boost.....

check out www.turbobricks.com for full details of how to 'play with your brick' i think they go up to stage 4 at 400+bhp but this will NOT be cheap or possibly very reliable!
