The TS is a relatively mild chip, so 32 psi is plenty of boost if you've got a stock turbo and stock sticks. If you're seeing that much boost, it sounds like your tuning is taking care of the defueling thing and a boost fooler may not be needed.
Of course the stock turbo tends to get a much shorter life when you take it beyond 25 psi or so, so save your money for a better turbo.

32 psi of boost is not going to harm your connecting rods. Good tuning can take you well North of 400 hp on powdered rods and you'll still be fine. But 32 psi of boost is going to shorten the life of your stock turbo, so start saving your pennies for a 38R or some other upgrade.
Edit: And a boost fooler won't save your PMR's either. It just keeps the truck from de-fueling or setting a CEL, which it sounds like yours isn't doing anyway.
