The only problems I had when running on low boost was getting beat by someone on high boost.......
I've put about 8k miles on my turbo @ 5-8 psi with no major problems....

i put the turbo on at approximately 80k. i have 105k presently and the only thing that needs to be replaced would be the clutch to sustain hard launches. i'm planning on rebuilding in the next month, but that's only because i need more power. i run 7-10psi daily driven and no problems

I ran 12 psi for 2 years, and 15 psi at the track. No problems. Its all in the fuel management...
