Sensibly this is about as much as a standard turbo will take. You can run more but it depends on the condition of the turbo and how the car will be driven.

You can run as much as you want.......BUT the more you run the shorter it will last.

15-17psi runs reliably for ages on a good condition turbo...I have heard of 22psi on standard turbos but its is v v in-efficient!
