My experience with "THE SHOP & DYNOFLASH"
I think you are overwhelming yourself. Don't worry about a thing. Al will take care of you. The car will feel like day and night. 26-28psi wont make much of a difference. He will zero in on the most boost while maintaining safety.

However, we wanted to see how much power it would make and under the controlled envirnoment of the dyno I felt it was safe - while monitoring a/f and knock
Remember boost is not destructive to motors - detonation is what causes internal damage - that and high rpms
When you compare the mechanical stress from boosting high it is minimal compared to the severe mechanical stresses that occur for example at TDC and BDC when the mass of the piston and rod must come to a complete stop and reverse direction
Just for example of what I am talking about is this member Mike1023 who ran his car literally with the wastegate closed 100% on the stock turbo and who's car is running very well with no problems
With race gas and a good tune you can run the stock turbo at its maximum boost levels without any significant problems
Is this something we normally do on a daily basis - no
Do we recomend that customers run this much boost every day - no
Is it possible and safe to do it under controlled conditions - yes

I would not suggest that anyone try to push that much boost under normal driving conditions

Al, I know you know your stuff, and I hate to hijack a thread, but do you really think the piston actually stops at tdc? My understanding is that it travels in a more circular motion, because if it did stop while spinning at 7000 rpms, college physics tells me the piston would rip off the rod and shoot right through the head. My irrelevant 2 cents.
