    Talking to my mechanic, he said Turbo Boost at 300 - 320 kPa won't hurt the turbo probably just blow a hose. Worst case scenario will crack CAC.

    Boost will very depending on what calibration code is in your ECM, your vgt's lifespan is limited in that 50psi range......guaranteed. Different ECM calibration codes have different tuning whether it be adding timing or more fuel or both. I currently am running a diesel spec stage one tune and pdi manifold, turbo, and make 32psi tops for boost at 2000ft above sea level.
