It won't actually blow up just severely shorten it's life.
It is only a basic air pump, so will only give out a certain amount of puff, when the boost goes no higher it is at it's limit.
I have heard of 26/29psi, but life will be severly short at this pressure.

You can see 2 bar lower in the rev range, but its not capable of maintaining it higher up.
