oh no no, i'd probably play it real safe, like 11, 12 psi. within the limits of the ecu. I was just wondering if the engine could support it with only those two mods. the dp, and cat-back. I just won't want to change the general appearence of the car. (i.e. the engine bay)

If you want to keep the stock look of the engine bay and yet get a bit more power, you may want to look at adam_c's cheap bastard intake. It looks stock but also looks like it would supply more cool air for the intake.

oh that sounds great. so you're saying I might not need a boost controller if I'm only running the dp, cat-back. that would even help with keeping the stock look inside as well.

says the man with over 22 thousand posts. well I'll take your word for it. now would a bigger side mount IC do the trick. because upgrading to a bigger side mount IC would not be in one's view when looking at the engine bay.
I had many plans, but I'm really fighting the urge to keep it relatively stock.

SMIC for the FD is "stock" mount.
Yes, a bigger stock mount will be just fine. Blitz and Greddy both have SMIC's which fit in the stock location and are a little larger than stock. I ran a Blitz for a few years and really like it:

You can usually find them used for a good price. Another good inexpensive alternative (used) would be the PFS SMIC.
