Default Could a b20 take the abuse like a ls would on boostin?

I plan to go with the b20 turbo route...and i heard of the b20s having the "weak sleeves". If i was going to boost a b20 @ 5-7 psi...would that be too dangerous? Could a b20 take as much abuse as a ls would?

the general agreement is that the sleeves crack around 6psi...so unless you resleeve it, no.
