i wanna raise the PSI level on my stock twins for races... i wanna raise it to 16-17 psi or so.. other than a boost controller that understands the sequential system what else would i need to make this work right without messing up the turbos or the engine???? i only have a downpipe and an exhaust... i just need to know the bare necessities to raise the boost for a little while????? any help is appreciated...

your limited to 14psi with the sequential system...

inefficiency of the factory intercooler and turbos above that..

providing of course youve done the necessary fuel compensation

Just buy a Profec B.

Its the easiest one to adjust ,you can make adjustments as you drive.

In my opinion I wouldn't go past 11 PSI. You can boost higher but then you will be buying many other items. If you are gonne raise it only for races then maybe 12. Higher then that and you are going to lose your turbos. 16 and 17 is way out of the question.
