Automatic Boost

I was talking to a friend and he said to get a little more power out of my car I should increase my boost. This was after a few drinks of course, so we never realy got into how to do that. Does anyone know about this? He told me to get a boost gauge too??? I thought boost was mainly a turbo thing??? I wish I could get a hold of him but I lost his #. Go figure. Anyone have any idea what this guy was talking about?

haha, yes it is only a turbo thing there is no boost on the RA. He must have thought you had an EVO.
