My old one ran 16psi for years without probs. It was changed in the end due to damage to the compressor wheel after a mishap

you can make it run 30psi and still be on the compressor map no doubt, but only if you put a restrictor in somewhere to limit flow!

turbos dont just run X psi, its all about psi versus flow mate
