Of course you can "squeez" more power out of ur turbo; they're different routes on doing it. First, intall that intake. What type of intake is it? You can always up the boost a lil with a boost controller..

15% is the maximum I can go with my current settings anything else and i will have to start upgrading fuel and other things. not sure i am happy with over working my charger on a day to day aplication.
