a healthy 7mgte can handle 12psi on a factory turbo right? i think i read that if you push much more out of it your looking for trouble

When I got my first 87 turbo, it had a shimmed wastegate. It worked just fine, but it causes extra stress on the wastegate actuator diaphragm and I'm sure other parts. Unneeded stress when, as Green mentioned above, there are easier and safer methods to achieve the extra boost.
