On a serious note an MBC (master boost controller) is at best something you don't want to use (seeing as you don't know what one is) at worst you'll end up with a knackered engine.

You can increase the boost by having the car mapped, but have a look around so you know how much work is needed before a map and also parts needed before a map.

My ARZ at stage one boosted to just over 1 bar, stage 2 just over 1.5 bar (23 psi)
You only need a few mods for a stage 1 but quite a few for stage 2
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
