Hi all,
I was looking at one of those manual boost controllers, so basically it changes the inner diameter of the t-piece hence increse/decrease the boost. Will i be able to increase the boost (+/- 0.1 bar) just by replacing the oem t-piece with a slight larger one (1mm Di.)? If so, what else should i do or look out for? I'm running rich anyway ( TurboSmart BOV).

Don't forget that you can only run up to the ECU's boost limit...and then SLAM! you'll hit the brick wall of fuel cut.
Personally, If I was you I would wait for the ECU upgrade the guys on here are developing:

The potential to re-map your car and get a whole load of extra boost and god knows what else should not be underestimated.
