The stock map in the PFC is good for about 12psi - that's been my findings. More than that and you'll need tuning.

Reliability based on boost is an inverse relationship (the more boost, the shorter the life of any engine due to increased stresses), assuming you don't have detonation or coolant seal failure, or some other problem that instantly breaks the engine.
So, IMO, the bottom line is: Slightly more boost is probably OK, since most early engine failures are from a specific problem such as detonation or coolant-seal failure, not marginally-increased wear. As Rynberg said, fuel-supply may be an issue in preventing lean-running, and resultant excessive heat or detonation.

I think i will leave it, so what is this about having a boost controller anyway?
I was going to ask as, i would liek to turn my boost right down sometimes in teh hope of gaining some extra fuel economy, and setting it so it doesnt go about where ity is now which is slightly more than .8
Im not too sure about this street port as my engine idle is fine although it does hunt sometimes, ie it may not have been done.
thanks all again

Thing is the new posts will generally be a rehash of old ones so get used to it.
Anyway, i was always under the impression boost controllers where optional, i do search the forums but alot of my questions are specific for me,
