In stock boost is limited to about 19, so that sounds right.

Those HP numbers are hard to trust. I dont know how accurate they are.
Its also not uncommon for boots to pop off if youre not prepared.

I wouldn't trust the HP numbers from a scan gauge - too much theory at play.

Boots: As I gaze into the crystal blue oval, I see yellow tape in your future. Riffraff Diesel has nice boots (with lower T-bolt clamps and plenum inserts) that won't blow. One time I forgot to tighten the clamp on the Passenger IC tube, and it took 30 PSI before it soiled my underwear.

Yeah... many learn this one the hard way. You got off easy with $170 loss, at least you didn't buy a mystery chip or injectors.

Oh... and don't do that eBay thing until you've cleared it with the forum.
