Default Increaseing Boost

I have an external wastegate that is set at 6 psi. If i wanted to increase the boost and reach around 15 or more psi, what would i need to do? Do i get a bigger WG or something?

Sorry, I just was thinking about the WG i have. I was said to be set to 6 psi. What does this mean? Will it never go over 6 psi?

Judging by your posts I think you have alot of reading to do in the engine management forum before you even being to worry about raising boost
