Default turning boost up, will it be safe?

its had a top end rebuild and bottom end is from the factory on 90k, currently running 18/20psi, and would it be safe to run 26psi? do you think?

the secs says max boost is 24 psi and it has a 2 stage boost switch, which doesnt seem to make a difference (according to the secs it does by about 1psi)

its running 3bar map sensor greens, rs500 intercooler ect.

how would it affect the secs by boosting more than 24?

what would happen to the 2stage boost switch?

thanks!
