The bigger compressor, of course.

Drop that 14.7 psi ---- right there, it's especially laughable that you think a crude mechanical system is going to regulate manifold pressure to the tenth of a psi. Just pick a power figure, and run whatever boost you have to in order to hit that power figure. Easy.

Bigger turbo=more top end power=faster qautermile times.
Just run big turbo plus Log manifold on that b16.

internal have boost control issues at high boost levels. Typically they just don't flow enough to regulate boost good. You can easily tune it flat with an EBC, but you'll typically start seeing boost creep and spikes.
