15psi seems to be the recommended amount if you want the turbo to last, you can go higher (up to 20) but its going to shorten its life.

Get a boost gauge and take it somewhere to be setup, the -31 actuator should be good for 15 psi

The -31 is good for 25psi but your turbo probably isn't. Normally if the turbo is okay its the intercooler that limits the boost cause it can not keep the act's down over 15psi. 15 psi is good for 170-180bhp if well set-up with mods you listed.
