You should be fine at 24 psi. I'm planning on getting a tune at 24psi this spring. I know people running 29 psi on pump gas on the stock turbo. Wouldn't do that but 24psi is fine.

Anywhere from 350-375 depending on the tune. And I've seen stock 8 turbos up to 26psi on pump gas.

i'd prolly keep it around 22 psi that is the spec for the turbo .i'm sure you could probly run it a little higher but make sure that u change the oil regularly andmay want to use a heavier wieght to save the turbo and look in to timer

granted i have a IX, but im spiking 29lbs and holding 25lbs with the stock IX turbo on an english racing tune. keep in mind i keep a constant mix of 94-95 octane in the tank.
almost done making the switch to E85.
