I ran my old 2.0zvh turbo at 25psi around castle coombe flat out and did not blow up.
engines still going strong now
But to be safe i if you want it to last i would say around 15 to 18psi

My old one held 15psi all day long, had done for about a year, that had standard 2ltr zetec bottom end, ported head (i think). No fifth injector. Nice and powerful (think it got 203bhp), just enough to drive on the road.

so not 25 then thought it abit much 
kev ya better come take me for a blast when the escoz comes getting tempted myself
anyway mate all can say is haveing built one myself THEN handed it to the tuners to fuel and boost ths is by far the best way you,ll be confident when you boot it instead of winceing and awaiting the bang and not knowing what the fooks caused it, a tip is to phone the tuner your gonna use and ask thier advice on a few things so then when it comes to going thier they kinna know you and your requirements, were as if you turn up with a diy blown mota they aint gonna really wanna take it on
