Extra boost due to mods?

Hey guys so I have a question. I had a licp installed as well as an o2 dump/downpipe (similar to the MAP o2 eliminator downpipe) installed recently. I remember reading a while back that the licp will make your car boost a little more and the o2 dump will do the same thing. So my question is how much extra boost would this add to my car and would it be safe to run that extra boost? I was tuned with a catback and intake with my boost set to 25psi before I had either of those mods installed.

Oh and if it makes a difference my mods are a Fujitsubo RM-01A 1-piece catback, Megan resonated testpipe, prototype o2 dump/downpipe, AEM intake, Hallman MBC (the one that you mount inside of the cabin), Synapse LICP, Greddy UICP, evo 9 BOV, and a Weapon-R catch can.

Thanks for the help guys!

I know ETS states on their website that you do not need a retune after installing their LICP. As far as the O2 Housing I'd assume you might go up a psi but I'm not 100 percent. Gunna have more air to suck in now thats for sure. I'd assume you will be okay. Maybe run a tad leaner.

removing the restrictive stock licp and going with the ETS should cause you to spike a little higher but if you are still on the stock boost controller the ecu should bring it back in line. You should still get it tuned or at least log to make sure your not knocking.

It's a Synapse LICP and I'm on a Halman MBC.
