Brandon314 has run his engine up to 26psi boost and 5500rpm plenty of times.

It would only take a few seconds at 25 psi to do some damage, IMHO.

The damage won't be instant, at least, it wasn't in my case. I ran my KKK turbo (Described by the
manufacturer as a heat pump above 18psi) at 20+psi for minutes at a time when my boost gauge's line got cracked. I was adjusting the boost level and it would not get past 10psi no matter how I adjusted it. Found the cracked line, fixed it and the 20psi gauge promptly pegged during the next test run.
That engine is still running to this day. It's probably one of the top 5 fastest W123 diesels on this forum right now.
