No, don't just go cranking up the boost just because you have the mods. You also need to tune it. Either buy a wideband to tune yourself or take it to the dyno and have them tune it. No clue what 17 psi would make on the 16G, but I can tell you 12 psi is definately not making 290 to the wheels. Also beware of that boost creep, them 16g's love doing it.

I could recommend so many performance parts, but I have no idea what your goals are. But I would have to say get some cams that was probably my favorite mod aside from the turbo.

Im actually looking up the boost and turbo shit right now. I think the car actually has cams on it. You can check out the link at the top of the page to see the car i think im going to buy.

It says it has 160 psi in all 4 cylinders. I just have to buy a MBC. It also has a BOV. Doesnt that help protect against boost creep? Ill look it up right now.

I doubt he has added aftermarket cams otherwise he would have mentioned that. That twin cam performance is a fancy way of saying dual over head cam.

No the aftermarket BOV doesn't help with boost creep. When you start setting your boost higher with that boost controller you're going to be buying, it will help keep charged air from leaking out like they do with those shitty stock BOV's.

The car looks nice, but like all modded cars, you don't know how its been treated and what all has been done to it. I lucked out and found a completely stock gsx. Then I was able to start from scratch with my own ideas instead of somebody elses. Hope it works out for you.
