The typical way to boost up a turbo is to keep the wastegate closed longer. Now, as far as I know, the i30 doesn't have a wastegate as it uses a variable geometry turbo that is electronically controlled and thus doesn't require one. I would then assume that the only way to boost up the i30 is to reprogram the ECU to alter the geometry and increase boost. So, not trivial.
