If you can, try to get ALL the info on the car you can. I would do a basic tune up/ fluid inspection, and go from there.

It does have a wide band gauge on it, but I havent noticed any Knock. I just had the shop that tuned it a few months back look over everything cause i just had the timing belts replaced and he said everything looks perfect he said he couldnt find one thing wrong with the car. So i guess ill just get bigger injectors and get it re tuned. Thanks

i think boost pressure should be determined in tuning; not armchair discussions. log timing, a/fr, etc. what octane are you going to run again?

Depends on several things. What kind of fuel? That alone changes everything.
