are you saying you run 16psi? if so then you should do a boost leak test

To raise the boost you will need a boost controller. Hallman makes a nice manual boost controller.

A boost controller will let you raise the boost above stock, but stock boost level should be 19.5-20.3 depending on your model car. If you are only hitting 16 psi it sounds like you have a boost leak, after you fix the leak you should invest in a boost controller.
