Upgrade to run higher PSI???

Upgrade to run higher PSI???
What engine internals/anything else should I upgrade in order to run over the recommended 6-9 psi on most turbo kits?? I'm looking at eventually getting into the 20+ psi. Any help??

piggy back / stand alone ecu, pistons, con rods, valves, springs, retainers, boost controller, injectors, spark plugs,intercooler, 2.5 or 3" exhaust, a good tune.
extra: clutch and flywheel, new wheels and tires.
psi varies from turbo to turbo, some turbos for example a gt30 can run at 10-12 psi and make 300. while a smaller turbo gt28rs has to run at a higher psi for example 15-18 psi to make the same power the gt 30 made. a trade off for going lower psi on a bigger turbo is a thing called turbo lag, when turbos' are propperly matched they can have minimal lag and make high power.

What sort of power are you shooting for? I mean, my friends MazdaSpeed is pushing 17psi and only putting down 250hp, where my TT kit puts the same power at 5psi.
Pistons rods and bearings is what you need to build you engine for anything over 350whp.

Brett, hopefully the AEM F/IC piggy back I have will do better.
bmx: I also have a kit from the same maker, but it's the lower end kit.

Check my sig.
It's good for high boost as well, but as you can see, you can start low. and it's a little less expensive.
Just be sure to get big injectors and some sort of managemnet with it.
