just raising boost makes no difference

Stupid useless info but I keep reading and have done my self raised my boost from standard 10 psi to 15psi and thought it felt better but for curiosity I've fitted my manual in cab boost controller ( gay I know but this is for research only) and been on a fairly good run just set it to standard and did some pulling away and and same with raised boost and to feel makes no difference so unless you can up the fueling buy a remap or maff amp just don't bother risking ya engine just keep it as its ment to be it just ain't worth the hassle of premature turbo or engine failure.

On another note I have a valve in my down pipe that I can pull a leaver and it makes exhaust straight through. when in 5th gear at 50mph and floor it then open flap my boost raises buy 3-4psi also spool up is alot lower rpm so if you want a little bit more poke do straight through exhaust

If this saves even one guy alot if agro ill be happy. And was fun trying it out for my own piece of mind
