Its not just a case of turning up the boost, you really need to think about fueling as well. Which is why remapping is far better. Bit difficult with an my98 though. Can be tricky just turning boost up as well as cold weather can affect it and you will hit the fuel cut about ~1.2bar (I think on an my98). Best to do a search on boost controllers and read a few threads and peoples experiences with them and setting them up.
