Default S480 - how much boost is ok????

So I have a S480 in a compound twins setup w/ V-clamp. 62/14 on top.

I'm seeing 30psi from the bottom turbo and 60psi overall. How much is optimal to stay within the effeciency range of the s480? 35psi? 40psi? what is the max?

Thanks!

I ahve a map to the shop.

No one has maps for these things. It seems that 32-34 psi is about max before you start seeing drive pressure issues anyway.

Are you going bigger on the secondary? Something like a 64/71-14?

Any chance you have a map without the "race cover"?

My goal is to figure out what to set my overall boost of the bottom turbo at. Is 45psi safe? Is 50psi safe? Where am I going to get the biggest bang for psi?

Thanks again!
