You asking what will the turbo do or what will the engine(at current spec) take?
A compressor map for a roller t3 and your full engine spec would be handy.

I´m guessing this is a trim60 or a super60. And if this is the case 23-25psi boost is max.
A lower trim t3 will support a little more boost but less bhp.
