HKS or Forge RS

I currently have a Forge RS bov. It is a great bov and have no complaints. I have been thinking about changing it to a hks. However, I have heard HKS are not quite good for high 400 -500hp setups. A friend of mines had an hks ssqv on his gt40 turbo on a srt and blew the turbo because of the air venting back. Ever since then, I have hesitated on the hks.

On the other hand, I have seing high 500hp stis and 240s running with them just fine. Can somebody clearify this for me. Are the hks safe on fp red turbos?
