Depends what type of inter cooler you have mate. Think a standard one is good for about 13 psi and and uprated one can run higher psi.

Shouldnt go much higher than12-13 psi on standard cooler iirc. As for power mate, possibly 160-170 at a guess. s it stock turbo aswell?

Possibly get it set up correctly on a rooling road for the time being and see what kinda figures you get there first

It all depends how high you wanna turn the boost up. Bigger cooler and a stage 1 /2 T3 will allow you to do this safely.
