    For regular day to day use and reliabillity on an otherwise standard engine 14psi is about the limit. Correct tuning is very important for reliabillity when you modify an engine. A fully race prepared intercooled TD42 could handle up to double that with correct tuning.

    It also depends on the condition of the engine too. if it has a poor sevice history and is sludged up it wont really handle a turbo at all
