I'd give NMS a ring for more boost, 36 psi will get you moving!

i know mate and it has been very reliable but to be honest since i bought the car its been having trouble going from 2nd to 3rd when driving hard but im not worried its been like that for a while and not getting any worse so it'll get sorted some day think im just going to stick with the power ive got for now getting the bodywork done in 3 weeks then just focus on getting it looking nice then see what happens after that
