Once You've installed A full 3" exhaust with straight-through mufflers, and a decent FMIC, the Stock Turbo will push out 9psi even without a boost controller, because the Turbo's exducer (How in the frig do U spell that?) and wastegate can't flow enough to stop runaway turbo spool-up. It should stabilise around 9psi just on the factory 5psi wastegate actuator. I'd say, while You've got the exhaust off, pull the turbo too, take off the exhaust-housing and check that the Turbo-manifold flange is dead-flat. Mine warped after a couple of trackdays, and kept blowing gaskets out - so I had to get it machined-flat again. I'm using the factory Nissan gasket after blowing 2 aftermarket ones (We'll see how it goes).

I'd suggest getting the exduser (??) opened out VERY slightly and smoothed-off, to allow a frag more gas bypass, as well as D-porting the wastegate port slightly, and smoothing it aswell, to stop boost creep. You can do the Wastegate yourself with a die-grinder, just don't take much/any out from the thinnest part of the housing, near the turbine opening. (it'll probably crack from heat if you do). Also, make sure you don't take too much from where the wastegate touches-down first (closest to hinge) when it closes - otherwise it can bind when it closes. Like the other guys have said, 12psi is the "safe" limit for the ceramic wheel'd stockie. "High-flowing" the exhaust housing on the stockie is mainly to allow more heat & exhaust flow, reducing back-pressure in the exhaust manifold - for MORE POWAH at the same boost level.

Next, I did PowerFC, 'coz the factory ECU gets Frikkin rich around 10psi, which hurts power, and starts breaking-down the spark if you've got weak/dodgey coils like Me. (Note: I did the Silicon-fix, went from breaking spark @9psi, to 18psi and fine!) - oh, do the 0.8mm spark plug gap, and forget Iridium plugs - I found them worse than the V-Groove's I had, and they cost a PACKET ! People seem to get good results from the Copper-tip plugs too.

So look hard & fast for a powerFC, they're still around - just a matter of luck to get one at a good price now. (Production stopped 3+ months ago)

Fuel system is good to around 210rwKw, My Air flow meter signal maxxed out around 190rwKw, although some folk get closer to 220rwKw (I think).

I'd get the stock airbox off the dude that sold it to You if You can - just for legalities sake.
