in a sense yes, but you cant jump from 5psi to 22psi without upgrading things like cooling, fuel injectors, ect.

on my turbo eclipse, i increased boost from 5psi to 7psi without problems after swapping the BOV, but when i wanted to increase the boost from 7psi to 15psi, i had to upgrade my injectors, install an intercooler, oil cooler, trans cooler, WBO2 sensor(lets you know if your running lean or rich), and retune the car to run with all of the upgrades

now that car is completely different than the 370z is but essentially you have to do the same things to run more boost without destroying your engine(not all the same things, but you get the point)
