I have mine set at 23-24 PSI max....

Any more than that and the turbocharger will start to hate life. Not to mention that you don't gain any power above that level with a stock turbo.

You SHOULD see more than 20 PSI with a stock turbocharger in the 100 HP program. Sounds to me like you need to start looking for a boost or drive pressure leak.
