I wouldn't agree that high boost kills these motors, it's heat. By having control of boost you can bring your EGTs down which in turn allows you to put more fuel in. NADS is a must.
I'm running 18psi in mine and I rarely see EGTs go over 500°C. My probe is 50mm after the turbo.
ZD's are definitely no torque monster but in my opinion do a good job of moving a big car. There are a few guys getting really good torque numbers but as said its not cheap.
See this link for a good visual representation of boost/EGT relationship.
