    Im at stage 2 and my car is making 15 lbs of boost. I want more! Would it be safe to up it just a couple of more pounds on the stage 2 map? I have a manual boost controller but kinda scared to use it.

    not safely.

    If you have an AP why are you running a MBC?

    A professional tuner should up your boost...as the fuel and timing maps need to be tweaked. If you up it yourself with a MBC...be very scared...and be prepared to spend $3,000 to fixing your blown up shortblock.

    I highly recommend Doug at Top Speed. Give them a call. 1-678-297-7770.

    Thanks, I'll wait though lol. Im just a broke hungry college kid looking for a cheap fix on his addiction. I'm not gonna bother with the boost controller and if anyone wants it. I'll give it to them for $10!
