With a spec like that a -31 should hold boost all the way. Your clutch may slip a bit but then again it might not - thats what ive been told from various so called bullshiting tuners, i ALWAYS get a 2nd opinion mate ... Once Bitten 4ever Smitten.
Sounds like you got a decent RS though, Fingers crossed and the like.
