What head gasket you on?
if it’s all in good nick and has a decent head gasket I’d say between 450-500 and you should be ok.
Especially if not running crazy boost levels

Paul, it's on standard crank, rods, and pistons but valve cut outs were machined in so I could run bigger cams. Engine has done about 4K miles since it was built 5 years ago including 1500 miles on a running in map. It's got a multi layer steel WRC head gasket fitted,
turbo has only been pushed to its limit since it had the Link management fitted and mapped in Nov 18.
Its the black saph you posted pics of last Sunday in cobham services !
