A boost controller should do it for you.
ive used a regular ole air compressor regulator and bench tested it for a couple psi and tried it out. vola. it works on my buddys truck now.. 8psi, flip switch and its 16 after a lil tweaking on his.

Reinstall light spring.
Remove and plug vacuum hose.

You would be on spring only.
So be prepared to lift.

I'm about to set up the Eboost street and others here are using it.

It's a badass boost controller and it has overboost control so you dont have to worry about overboosting (assuming no mechanical or electrical failures occur). Reasonably priced too right at $290-300

You can pick up a boost controller of ebay for about 25 bucks. Just installed one and it works fine.
