I'm having a great time driving mine.

You can do lots of things to it. You don't need to do any of them to turn up the boost. I know of someone running a stock internals SR20DE with a well executed F-Max kit running 24 psi on pump gas.

If you want to turn up the boost, the thing you need most to do is get a new turbo, manifold, injectors, and MAF.

I runs 6 or 7 psi (I can't remember). Internal work is not required to run a lot of boost. What is required is a good manifold, proper turbo sizing, and upgrading the fuel side of the system to accomodate the additional power.

I would not boost a stock DET T25 turbo very high at all. It is a very small turbo and more than a couple psi of additional boost will make it terribly inefficient and that can cause all sorts of problems. There is very little head room for additional boost on a T25.

A stock DET should easily put you under mid 14s (with a FMIC set-up and 2.5" or 3" exhaust).
