The dawes device will turn up the boost, but it must have been turned down for a reason. The car might have been hitting fuel cut or something ?

To be honest I don't think the Dawes device is ideal. You could really do with getting it remapped or even an Apexi AVCR and Apexi S-AFC2.

If you're turning up the boost you need to increas fueling and a few other things too

std boost on that car was about 12 psi, whoever/wherever you were advised 16 is talking rubbish.
