depending on the tune and ignition settings you could reach 15 psi no problem maybe more with the right gas.

psi means nothing its max hp that your looking for, and most say you should stay under 300hp on a stock block to be reliable so you already pushing it if you ask me.

There are too many variables to answer this question without knowing more about your setup. What turbo are you using for starters? Another key factor in figuring out what you can make is the fuel available to you.

Hypothetically if you were running a LARGE turbo T3/67HO, S366, GT3582 or something along those lines on a high octane fuel (i.e. 110+ octane or E85) you could probably squeeze 450whp out of it, but how long it lasts is another question. At that point you're putting 300% more stress on the engine than stock...but it has been done

more boost would have been fine if tuned.

stock map sensor can only read 11psi [as im sure you were only tuned at 11psi because you don't have a different one.]

you ran more boost the ecu had no idea what was going on. boom

Lemme guess, stock map sensor and the only thing you did was turn the boost up?

Congrats, you just ran the car mega lean.
