Reflash Question

I had to have my truck in the shop yesterday....so i returned the truck back to original with the predator......
I told the service writer I wanted them to flash my computer with the latest calibrations....
Got the truck back putted home in stock mode.....replace right front speed sensor....tuned to 85hp w/ predator.....and i could feel a remarkable difference .......only problem i see is boost is way high....almost hit 30 before i could get out of it...(may need to enable wastegate again)

my question
Is it possible that the flashing of the computer helped this much ?

How much boost was the Predator giving you with the 85HP tune prior to the reflash? Very high 20s is not unusual with a Predator in the 85+ tunes.

Ken I was getting high 20s but after the reflash it looks like high 30s....also got a SES light after I got on it the first time I havent done it since...I wasnt expecting it, thats why it happened the first time...I m being careful now....How much boost is too much boost?
Also is my computer code in the above calibration code?
