Turbo Boost Pressure

Does anyone know what the safe max pressure should be, for the turbo boost pressure, on a 2001 7.3 liter superduty?

K&N Air Intake
4" Exhaust
Edge Juice w/attitude Monitor
4.56 gears
35" tires

Hauling my 5th wheel up hill and am getting a 23.9, seemed excessive to me so I slowed down to keep it around 20 - 21.

The Exhaust Gas Temperature was running around 900 to 950 while running uphill, consistently, at one point it hit 1300 degrees before backing down.

It will set a code above I think it's 22psi but most guys put something like the Overboost Annihilator on it.

Overboost Annihilator

I run one on mine and with the stock turbo I can regularly see 25+ with no issues after 8yrs of owning the truck.
