So, you can run an indicated 18psi, it just won't do any better than 15psi. Might even be looking at turbo damage if it's set that high for extended periods of time.

AGREED!! Luckily my friend didnt have a stock turbo. Just internals and fuel system. =) Thats what I thought about the stock turbo though. I didnt think it would hold more than 15psi boost.
