how much boost can the stock turbo put out?

I'm having my race/street engine built by SPG9, with the stock oil cooled turbo, how much boost can it possibly put out, I've seen 25psi, but that was with stock pistons and head etc.
with forged pistons in combination with polished combustion chambers, how much extra knock protection will I have.
I was thinking of shortening the waste gate are another 1/4" or so a(ie base boost to about 10-12psi) or as high as I can safely set it, I was running about 7.5psi before the big break down, and it seemed fine.
hopefully I will be able to get my boost to 30+psi once I upgrade the turbo.
any Ideas?

maybe a aqua mist system could help?
