Testpipe+Downpipe+Dropin airfilter(Without Tuning)

Hi, I am from Kuwait and I own an 09 EVO X SST. I installed 3 upgrades a testpipe, dropin airflter and a down pipe. The car is running fine. But I want to raise my boost can i remove the pills from the boost tube?Will it cause knocking? or should i install a MBC? Can the SST endure it?

I did some research and what I understood is that it is Ok without Tunning.
Help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

It should be fine but you wouldn't be able to up the boost too much. You should still get a tune because like zeus1 said you will be missing out on the extra hp and tq.

Thanks guys for your replys, but the problem is my car is JDM spec and in kuwait nobody knows how to tune cars like the evo (they only tune american cars) what should I do? Should I buy a programmer and try to find maps for my car?
(A friend in kuwait bought a cobb AP and it didn't work on his car)
