I demolished a lard arse insignia 160bhp cdti with my dturb when it had a wanky little k14 that was cooking itself over 30psi. Granted the vaux weighed around 1500 odd kg, but the heatsoak on mine then was comical and it still couldn't get away. On a wrung out stock turbo, id say defo no. but with your setup, perfect the launch and as mentioned dont cock up 2-3 or bog and I think you'd have him, just (if he does a gd launch/change). Mine has a dodgy linkage whereby if I tried to change too fast and not properly go through the gate, it wouldn't go into 3rd. So practice away!
I'd be more worried about popping a hose for prolonged wot so as long as its all good, go for it. If it was me, I'd up the boost
