Come on man.....I dont know if you realized this but this forum has a search feature. You can run as much you want, until you hit fuel cut or until the turbo blows....
Fuel cut is usually around 12 or 13 psi depending on temps and what not. Just search and lurk a little and you will find the right boost level for your application.

If you are shooting for low 400s then you may be able to reach that with the 57 trim upgrade....thats what I have. The 57 trim CT has made low 400s but its pushing it.
Just make sure that you have the platform to make that kind of power.

60 trim or 60-1 will get you there with supporting mods. But the 57trim is supposed to be more reliable.
57 trim will make mid 400's to the wheels with supporting mods...
damn close to 500hp at the crank which is double factory...

A STOCK ct26 will do 12-13psi and it will last forever. I run 16 its been fine all summer and i drove it hard. So 14-16. Any higher that 15-16 you aren't going to see a huge gain and you are going to wear out the turbo real quick.
Don't bother over about 13psi (which is right around factory fuel cut... hmm... imagine that...) as the stocker huffs hot air at much over that.
Get a 57 trim, some upgraded injectors, and a MAFT-Pro and shoot for 16-18psi out of it, with around 400-425rwhp.
