Also a 3-bar FPR ($40-50) will let you adjust the LBE to give you 15psi of boost. I think the LBE comes pre-set to give stock levels of boost around 11psi or so.

Fuel Pressure Regualator, controlls how much fuel is sent to the injectors. When you increase boost you must in many cases also increase the amount of fuel sent to engine or else you car will run lean which is BAD

Test pipe = cat replacement pipe

I do not live in a state with inspecions, but I understand that the more mods you make, the harder it is to pass, so be careful.
