On greens you can have a big boost spike of around 28 psi but holding around 22 psi
You will have to have it set up properly for that though..
What chip you running???

Greens are pretty much flat out at around 340 -350 or so anyway, infact i've seen them running 90% duty just @ 310bhp @ 22psi....

As Danny says, just be CAREFUL until you've had it setup properly

Regardless of the info on here at the moment, my advice is to call the chip calibrator and see what its mapped for as you say you "think" its for a T34. If it is in fact a T3 and you have fitted a .63 T34 you can say goodbye to your engine at 22psi and high revs.
