Whether doing so by raising rev limits, changing pulleys, etc., people will want to increase the boost. If we made a system with absolutely no boost upgrade, no one would buy it. Even if people have no intention of raising the boost, they still subconsciously need to know they can before they buy.

We made that mistake in the past on our Lexus IS300 system...as soon as people found out there was no pulley swap option for boost upgrade, it killed the sales of that system. Even though the system made great power out of the box, and there were other compressors they could have upgraded to, it didn't matter. That system was instantly D.O.A. We have the extra impeller speed buffer for that reason - so people can go a little more aggressive if they want without having to swap compressors. For those enthusiasts that want even more...we have that covered too, but will require a compressor upgrade (and we have lots of options there).
did you say...compressor..upgrade...? do tell about this compressor upgrade. id be very interested in knowing what you guys offer to step up the gains to the next level. thanks in advance!
