It normally puts out about 12-14psi, and thats ALL it NEEDS. Increasing boost does not mean more power, it means damaging the engine. You only get more power by increasing both the boost AND fuel, increasing the fuel is difficult and complex, not to mention you'd probably melt and destroy the engine. Leave the poor engine alone, the engineers at MB already designed it for optimum operation. It will run a long time reliably without such modifications. If you want more power buy a sports car.
There, thats my rant.
