2. You turbo can hold up to 15PSI safetly. But 10-12 is what I would run.
3. Your ME7 not 4.4 and ME7 doesn't like MBC's (Manual Boost Controllers).
4. Your only way to up your boost is to get an ECU upgrade. You can go with cheaper ECU upgrades, but you car may run rich. SpeedTuning USA around $325, Upsolute around $425 and you could try Inmotion. I don't have a price for them. I would recommend going with IPD USA, RICA or BSR PPC, yes way more expensive but well worth it for the time money and reasearch they put into their tunes. I am running a SpeedTuning USA and like it, but only got it because of a groupbuy a long time ago.
*Before you do upgrade please do STAGE ZERO, meaning making your car in tip top shape. Click the link in my signature for information on STAGE ZERO.
Also SAVE YOUR MONEY, if you don't have much cash SAVE YOUR MONEY. Just SAVE UP. It is well worth it for an ECU upgrade.
