Default Safe Boost Levels

Got a problem hope somebody can help?

Currently running 2wd sapphire cos, 7.4:1 compression, ported head, BD10's, ARP stud and nut kit, Turbo Technics stage 3 T34 with .55 housing, 34 Actuator, pace RS500 spec intercooler and Grey injectors.

Previously after live map running 2 bar but since been told over speeding and damaging turbo.

What is the safe boost limit to run on this specification as i have dropped it to 24 PSI?

thanks for the advice, will call them and see what they say.

i also have the option of a t34 roller bearing turbo on a .63 housing which i'm trying to find the identity of, led to believe its an owen developments unit but has no numbers they can match.is there any way to tell if it is roller bearing just by looking or would i have to fit it and see.

i'm certainly interested in this unit if it is what it says

T34 will run 2 bar all day long, same as std T3 will do stage one, it will just shorten life of std T3 as it only has 270 degree bearing.
