Default Turbo boost

I got a 87 supra turbo and I was wondering how I can increase the boost on the stock C26 turbo. Is their a bigger internal wastegate I can get? Im not use to Supra's because I had a 98 Eclipse gsx b4 and I have a 92 twin turbo Supra that I bought modded already

Shimming the wastegate is a bad ideal, you limit the gate's ability to open as much as it is designed for... I'll let you guys search why that's bad.

If you're dying for more boost Google DIY MBC and build a "grainger MBC" for $15.

Also, be CAREFUL when upping the boost! Fuel cut is a safeguard, but it's not a 100% guarantee that you won't kill your engine.

i was a faction of a second away from adding (not recommended) which it isn't. I just assumed the poster read up on the subject and weighed the consequences. lets hope so.
