Did my eyes deceive me? 23 PSI???!!!...

Perfect turbo conditions this morning: dry, cold (40F), 93 octane fuel.
I had a long open stretch of highway, and slowly pushed the pedal down, watching the Saab gauge pin itself beyond the red, watching the VDO gauge approach and stay at 22 psi. This is with the Garrett T25. Normally, the psi's hang out between 16 and 20, but never beyond that. Amazing! I'm surprised fuel cut-off didn't occur.
This all comes after a spirited jaunt against a BMW M3 last night, of which I stayed practically attached to while behind it in 3rd, then was able to pull out alongside it, steadily pulling away while still in 3rd, then put it into 4th ("D"rive), and made it but a speck in my rearview mirror. Awesome feeling! Who said you need a stick to outperform another?
