hi im new to the forum thing but i hear its very helpful. so my question is does anyone know how much boost can the car handle stock if i put a boost controler and a wastegate on it? and what is the best way to get the car to hold the boost, im going for 15psi right now.

install the Stage 1 then worry about holding the boost. the stock pcm throws a CEL if you try to up the boost. so put the stage 1 in and then a waste gate actuator. you should have no problem holding 15psi in 1,2 gear and 16 in 3rd and possibly 17 in 4,5,6

Stage 1 gives you the 15 psi. Anything over in most cases will shut your throttle down. Clamp on stage 1 will allow you to get non-torque limited boost up to 18-19 psi on stock injects.
