People run 40+psi on TMIC's no problem and although performance wont quite be as good as a FMIC, it wont be far off. The problem comes with long term power, if you are driving hard for more than a few minutes the power will drop considerably and you will also need to keep your eye on engine temps as they will climb much faster on TMIC.

IMO a VERY safe boost to run on TMIC, worry free would be ~18/19psi. Any higher and you will just need to be sensible and have some mechanical sympathy.

At those PSIs I would be more worried about blowing the gasket or chucking a rod rather than the turbo blowing, which is a relatively small thing in comparison to either of those events.

Ignore this.........

I'm a fool and should realise that threatening behaviour of any sort will not be tolerated

Okay then smart guy what causes headgaskets to blow and rods to chuck then? Obviously raising the psi does because that makes the overall compression ratio higher which strains those components more. I really want to smack you sometimes :x

Lol, you have no idea at all do you
