Boost is only relative to back pressure and does not brake blocks to much HP and RPM and a BAD TUNE will brake your block . I ran 14psi and then a17psi kit for years on a stock block. yes it did brake the block but it took 4 years to do it

Exactly... it all depends on how good your tune is

You can also look at a turbo diesel truck for a good used trubo and get a rebuild kit for a few hundred dollars. There are going to be alot more old turbo trucks in the junk yard than cars that came with turbos and they will be alot larger and more what you need.
