What other mods do you have? With intake and exhaust mods the problem is usually keeping boost down.

UIM and LIM mean upper intake manifold and lower intake manifold.

you should look in to some free flowing exhaust, like with no cats or high flow ones and large diameter pipes.
i have a series 5 engine in my series 4 car aswell. i like the combo. with the exhaust most people run too much boost, and they need fuel upgrades

Make sure you have enough fuel before you go cranking the **** out of the boost. Or you will be looking for a new motor.

You misunderstand. When you add an intake and exhaust, boost often rises too high to be safe.

Again, what are your mods? Nobdy here is going to advise to how to raise your boost if it might kill your engine.
