Most sensible way is a remap. Other ways possible such as a Dawes device but maybe less than ideal for the engine - ask a good tuner for the best advise.

Remap is the safest way.

Just increasing it with a boost controller or dawes is not the best idea, as the fueling and ignition won't be configured to suit. If you must take this route then I would seriously suggest that, at the very least, you get someone with det cans and an wideband AFR guage to look at the car to make sure it's ok.

I'd save up the money for a proper remap. A good map does more than liberate power!
