    how much boost?

    here's the deal.. got apr stage 1+ done this past friday. and it feels very strong... i got my boost gauge hooked up and got nervous.. first gear doesnt go over 15psi... 2-3 gears go to 20psi... but in 5th gear, when my foot is to the floor, it tends to surge a bit between 22 and 25psi and can spike at 28psi!?!?!? that concerned me since i thought stage 1 was only 18psi or so and 1+ didnt go much higher than that and i was concerned with the surging. is that an n75 issue? could the gauge just be wrong? should i not worry about it? it's a stock motor w/ 97k miles. runs good, no knocking or any odd noises. i imagine its due for timing belt in 8k miles or so. it just makes me nervous running that much boost on stock motor since i dont kno how much it can take especially w/ the boost spike. any info is greatly appreciated!!
