I assumed you modified a turbo with a restrictor plate or changed the compressor wheel or housing. The 18G can hit much higher boost levels than that, and so do smaller turbos.

Boost =/= flow.
I can certainly make observed boost higher, but that would come at a power loss.
Try blowing as hard as you can through a coffee stirrer, vs a mcdonalds straw, vs a boba straw. Note the inverse correlation between boost (how hard youre blowing through the straw) vs flow (how much air is going through the straw). This is one lungpower of boost/flow through various straws.
