Quick boost question

So I installed in the AEM tru-boost yesterday. I've been trying to figure out the boost settings. Now the stock boost in the ix is 20.1 psi, right? So untuned with a tbe, intake, and IC pipes, what is highest i could safely SPIKE at? As of today, I have it spiking at 19.1 and setting in at 18 to be safe. It seems that the higher i turn it, the higher it spikes before staying consistant.
Going to get tuned as soon as I find a place! will a need a upgraded fuel pump?

thanks for you help in advance

How do you like the Boost controller ? Was an easy install and where exactly did you install the boost controller in the car ? Any pics available ? I am planning on going Electronic from manual, just pain in the a%% to open the hood and adjust.

Walbro is a great investment. I wouldnt think twice.

Yes get a pump, and you could go to 21-22psi untuned but don't expect to get much of a benefit from it.
