Max Boost on Stock EVO

Just a quick question. I'm looking to put a manual boost controller on my EVO and want to know what is a safe boost setting. I was thinking 20 PSI, but wanted to make sure before I do the install. I searched and didn't find anything referencing this. BTW I will have a boost gauge installed prior to the mbc.

Hey NEWEVO8, all my tuning gets done by AUTOMOTOSPORTS (AMS). They're a great shop. Actually just got my ignition timing harness put in and the car feels great. They are also going to fully wideband tune the car next week.
