Over 25 and your just super-heating the intake air anyway. Not much gain over that number. Are you hearing any kind of "pst-pst-pst-pst...." or surge type sounds when you get up that high?? I could get mine up to about 28 but it surged badly.
Like pocket said, overboosting like that is very hard on the turbo.

Yep... just like everyone else said... your turbo will not last too long going over 25 psi... keep your foot out of it and you will be fine. But that isn't too much fun either...
What chips did you stack? That is pretty good boost for a stock truck..

i was getting 28lbs boost with that chip then i just put a 18k module from dfuser in and the boost will go to 32
the reason i put it in was to try for better mpg
will check that as soon as i run the tank down
