You need at least a manual boost controller. This will allow you to exceed stock levels.

WARNING! Do no install a boost controller with out an aftermarket boost gauge. The factory gauge is not acurate and its sort of estimated by the ECU. You could cause serious harm to your car. From what I read keeping it under 15psi in stock config is the way to go.
If your timing gets pulled from the boost level turn it back down. A datalogger is nice to see if your knocking and harming anything.
