I used to run 21 psi on my ko3 hdi, stage 2 map and intercooler with a straight through. You will reduce the life of the turbo though, I'd recommend fitting something bigger such as a Gt2052 or an IHI rhf5. Alternatively, you can go down the vnt route and fit something like a Gt2056v There's loads of information in various project threads and the guides section if you want to read up on it.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

Echo pretty much what MY95 said, but i would try and get your turbo up to about 20 psi on the stage 2.
