You cant just increase the boost, it needs mapping and setting up to run the higher boost

If it has a 2.5 litre engine has it been mapped for that?

what turbo has been fitted then? the standard td04 turbo wont do 314bhp.

Ecutek on that year of car can run two boost levels but only one map.

14psi is low to map a vf34 to.

Is it on standard injectors?

sounds like you need to get it checked over to see what its got, advise from there and then remap once any parts required are fitted.
