Reread my post. I posted it for a reason.
Even if you make exactly the same modifications to two identical cars, you are likely to get slightly different results. That is part of the reason I made the post.
A second reason, as I mentioned, you don't really seem to understand the way modifying a car works. 14psi is not 14psi! People dont' seem to grasp this fact.
On a larger turbo (or a high-flowed turbo), 14psi will be a greater airflow than 14psi on a smaller/stock turbo. This means that you may lean the car out too much by running higher boost, and cause the engine to dismantle itself in a manner that is both spectacular and expensive.
So, the amount of boost you can run depends very heavily on the trims you choose for your turbo modifications - and how much air flow is generated at a given boost setting. Boost does not equal power. You may find that with a high flow you can make more power, but not be able to run as much boost pressure as on the standard turbocharger setup.
Detonation is the devil. Get the boost set by a professional on a dyno so that the AFR's can be monitored.
Even then, there are still a lot of variables. The general state of tune, the spark plugs you are running, how fresh your engine is, what kind of exhaust you are running, what your intercooler is, the ambient temperature, the general atmospheric conditions (altitude, etc), compressed air intake temps, fuel setup, fuel type, etc etc etc etc etc
I'm trying to save you from buying a new engine. Think I'm an idiot all you like, but ignore this advice at your own peril
