confused.

Your run more then 7psi with a rich mod. Anyways the more boost you run the more heat it produces so kinda pointless. You need a better turbo really.

Yes and no,

Thats what the intercooler to cool hot air charge, you run more boost the intercooler cools it down as long as it's big enough.

How much boost depends on the turbo compressor map.

The T2 turbo really above 14-15 psi is not producing anymore compressed air it just heats up the air that is already compressed as it's outside it's effeciency range.
