Boost question

I have just installed a Juice w/Attitude on my 2005.
I put it on the 3rd steeing and have not tried the others.
With an empty truck from a dead stop I put the pedal to the floor theboost goes up to 38lbs. The Attitude sounds an alarm at 36lbs.
How high is too high? I believe my truck has a (plastic?) cooler on it and assume this is the weak area

The stock turbo is pretty inificient after 35psi, but it can handle 38-40psi. I have my defuel set to 38psi. I rarely hit that on lvl 3.
