Probably not safe to run over 20psi for too long. I know people do it, but I wouldn't want to be too much over that on stock motor. You can either buy a Cobb Accessport, or have it protuned

Just get a downpipe, (upipe too since you have a catted 02 up) exhaust, and a stage 2 ECU re-tune from XPT or Cobb.
Don't go any further then that unless you plan to actually do a ton of homework and read pages and pages of how other people built up their cars, otherwise you'll just get yourself in trouble up ess creak without a paddle.
If I'm wrong, someone who actually drives a turbo car will correct me... I'm just parroting back what I've read, too busy racing in the dirt :shrugs:

By just cranking up the boost, you are only going to see minimal gains without more work. There is much more to making the car go faster then just adding a manual boost controller and cranking it up.
You shouldn't need to worry about hurting the internals with too much boost at this point. If you crank it up too high you will just pop your turbo first. Your stock turbo isn't good for much more then 17-18psi (and the right tuning to go with it).
