Me and kraig made some boost controller for about 4 bucks from home depot. Not hard at all. Look on the internet for 'how to build a manual boost controller'.

I don't know for sure its 10psi, but i wouldn't go past 12psi on the stock IC, and no where past 15psi on the stock turbo. But I don't really know whats the fuel limit on a stock TurboII, 10psi should be in a safe margin though.
