The T2small only puts out about 250-300CFMs (I forget which), 15 is the most I would do.
Since you're asking this, I'll ask you. Do you have a boost gauge? If not don't turn up the boost.
Here's something from RRE for you. It's a good to know kind of thing.
..and please don't turn up your boost until you are ready with supporting mods in hand. Save yourself the headache.

stock between 8-12, and it maxes out at something like 18, but fuel system shouldnt be pushed over 15 (if you want to be safe)

I don't think the stock bov can even handle 15psi or higher for that matter, lol.

A stock 1G has proven to handle 18psi without crushing. I ran a stock 1G bov at 19psi before having to crush it to hold 21psi. There is also a proper way to crush the 1G and an improper way...one thing at a time though, lol.

Or you could do what I do and run no BOV at all... LOL

Don't actually do that. My car was designed WITHOUT one and I'll be installing one soon.

I agree though get an aftermarket boost guage before even considering altering the boost levels. You NEED an accurate measure of boos when changing it. But to answer the question you are likely putting out around 9PSI stock. Mitsu liked that # for turbo cars.
