you have a t25 turbocharger. i THINK the stock boost is around 10 or 10.5 psi. With a manual boost controller you go upto about 15 psi. get a aftermarket boost gauge tho for when u tune the boost level.

REMOVE YOUR CAPS LOCK! It helps not to yell

Definetly get a mbc, and you'll need an aftermarket boost gauge as well. The stock boost gauge is there for looks........

Also if you plan on uping the boost past 13psi you'll need a new BOV, stock plastic one won't hold the extra boost.

Stock boost can vary from car to car. The first mod I did was a boost gauge, and I was running between 14 and 15 psi with no mods other than the gauge. It seems most people are lower though. The factory manual spec for boost is like 8 - 14.7 psi. Although with the stock T25 the boost will start to drop from its peak at around 5000 RPM.
