Na, you don't get lucky. It's likely you're getting an incorrect PSI reading. To run more than ~17psi on the N55 requires fuel upgrades such as ethanol and/or meth. It's just too much heat for the N55 and stock turbo to contend with. You occasionally hear of people running meth/ethanol and pushing 20-21psi with their stock N55 turbos, but most tuners wouldn't recommend it. Point it, your N55 can't handle that sort of PSI or generate those sort of power numbers with the mods you have. It's just not possible.

You're in CA. There are dynos everywhere.
