Well i've heard people putting bigger vacuum hose on the bcs and it will alow them to boost more.

Quote from http://www.clubdsm.com/how-tos/incrboost.txt

"Finally, replace the factory hoses with some 5/32" vacuum hose. This usually gives about 14-15 psi of boost with a completely factory appearance. This method is also somewhat safer than the preceding methods because the ECU still has the ability to
decrease boost if detonation occurs, unlike methods which remove the
solenoid. However, keep in mind that the ECU may take some time before it
decreases boost, so you can still damage your engine if you aren't careful.

on my car it will hit 15psi instead of the usual 12-13 it usually does but this time the boost tends to fall back to 10 and hold at high rpm. What is wrong with my car? I was thinking maybe Im running lean and the ecu is detecting it making me run lower boost at high rpm. What do you guys think?
 
forgot to post mods

free mods, K&N, empty catalytic converter, 3" catback.

You think its the freaking stock fuel pump limiting me?
 
First I would check your system for boost leaks. And then trash the stock BCS and invest into a manual boost controller.
 
how can you trash the bcs? i thought the manual boost controller over rides the bcs when pluged in on the other T tap. also whats the easiest way to check for boost leaks?
 
when you put on a mbc you completely remove the boost soleniod and run vacuum line to the nipple on the jpipe and one to the wastegate actuator.
