If you want to trick the computer into higher boost then get a boost gauge, a wideband air/fuel gauge and a mapclamp. You just can't go to higher boost without knowing the air and fuel mixture. Run too lean and you'll destroy your engine.

Putting a manual boost controller will allow you to run more boost up to a point. I ran an MBC at 15psi on my car with stage 0. I threw an overboost code one time while at wide open throttle getting on the interstate. I hated the part throttle overboost so I removed it. Stage 1 will allow higher boost levels without throwing codes, but you still need to be careful. If you crank the boost too high and the computer can't supply enough fuel, you'll run the air/fue mixture too lean and could possibly cause MAJOR engine damage (BOOM!)
