Sorry for that, what might seem dumb, question. But what is this "boost
method" ??

An easy way to increase you HV by 10 % is to put a small transformer in
serial with you actual HV transformer secondary. If you have a 2000V
secondary, put a 150-200V in series. You must check if your new transformer
is highly enough insulated.
You can also make a 200V DC supply and put it in serial with your actual DC
supply.

I did that on one supply and it works perfectly. I did put it on the DC
grounded side, so insulation is not so critical.
