new intake and exhaust. that will raise it a few psi... cheaper to buy a boost controller... or pop some washers in the wastegate.

ok. i'm like IJ. i don't tell people to search. but, the information is all over this site. if you have a basic understanding on how the turbo system works, then you should know that we have wastegates which bleed off pressure as boost increases, starting to open very low, and bone stock, being fully open at about 6.5psi. i typed in the exact following:

ct26 wastegate shim

and got this thread as the FIRST listed out of two total.

and this was the second:

both explain how to do what you described.

now, if you DON'T know anything about the turbo system on our cars, then i HIGHLY suggest you ignore the information i provided, and SEARCH, A LOT, before doing ANY power modifications to the vehicle.

it is imperitive to understand how a system works before you try to alter it, as the end result could be catastrophic to both you car/motor, and/or yourself.

happy boosting,

Even when you do know what you're doing there are no guarantees ;)
