Anything can blow, all depends on tuning.

I have popped two engines myself. Stock pistons weren't made for boost.

You can't post a poll like that. Any motor can blow if it isn't tuned properly.

My motor blew from a turbo.....but it was probably from lack of oil. I spun a rod bearing.

Especially with turbo, tuning is the key. You can run 2psi or 20psi, but if you're tuning isn't there, KABOOM!
