I'm sure GIAC, Cobb or Procede could match those numbers if they wanted to, but is it worth blowing your turbos? It's just not logical.
That really depends on where its hitting 18-19psi in the rev range as it is completely within its efficiency range in the midrange. I have been boosting 18psi on my Cobb Stage 2+ for about 9 months with no issues.
