stock turbo with FBCD boost level?s

Hi,

im running jspec turbo 2 stock turbo with boost controller, and knight sports fbcd, and a bov.before teh BOV I was getting only 6 psi max, Iguess the stock BOV was leaking. Its alot faster now and shoots even more flames especialy on the freeway. Im getting about 10 psi max, but I know some ppls are running up to 15 psi with the same setup. How is it done? Did tehy remove some kind of vacuum?

It (15psi on mostly stock components) is done either:
A) unreliably
or
B) with a fmic, upgraded fuel and injectors, and fuel control; all that being the minimum.

You can run close to that level of boost, with an upgraded fuel pump, and ideally some 720 secondaries. You'll need a S-AFC to adjust the secondaries. And you'll need a boost controller of some sort. The simple boost controllers bleed air off the line going to the wastegate.
