without checking,, NOTHING is a safe amount of boost

if the car was mapped for 32 psi,, that is your limit and that what i run on the same sort of spec engine as yours

BTW, if it was mapped for 32 psi, and you have turned it down to 29, your engine will be running a little richer

In that case, either:

1) Ask for the instructions that came with it.

2) Give me the serial number and engine spec and i will give you a close idea.
