You're not alone Mark. Damo's ej205 - PFC combo is up around there too, and performing well might I add.

The "ej205's can only handle 16psi" comment from what's-his-face was an unsubstantiated CSB it would seem.

I've been running 20psi for a while as well and no problems yet (touch wood)

I ran 29psi on my MY05 WRX EJ205 stock block.

Boost is not the issue, the tune is.

You have an ej205.

What's your fascination with 22 pounds?
If you want, you could:
Exhaust
late model TMIC
good panel filter
injectors
VF34
ECU
+tuned to 22psi
=270+ hp atw on a standard un-opened ej205 safely and reliably.
(about $2.5-3k total)

Or you could spend 5-10k on a 207 and make the same power on the same boost...
Up to you.
