Up/downpipe, crank pulley, catback.

Anyone ever experiment as to how much will these raise the boost by themselves?

sooo, if I install those, I won't really need an mbc to set it 15 psi, right?

You dont raise boost by installing aftermarket exhaust parts. You need a boost controller to change when the wastegate opens up. There are many sites that explain how turbo systems work and Im sure if you search around on this site you can find some info that might point you in the right direction.

Exactomundo... Although installing a free'r flowing exhaust does increase boost levels a bit. It's not exactly what I'd call "raising the boost" An MBC or EBC would allow more boost to be built through the lower gears all the way up to redline. Something that the stock boost system lacks currently.
