Max boost on a K03

So I have a stage 2+ A6 and I was wondering what is the max boost i can run without hurting the turbos on the stock K03s if I get bigger fuel injectors?

you're spinning a K03 past it's efficiency level at like 12 psi or something like that

therefore the 18 psi we run on them at max on the giac code is probably waaaaay too much

and where did your hear that 18PSI is too much?

if the 18 PSI that most chips run at was 'waaay too much' don't you think we would all hear of many more blown turbos?

read it in a magazine.

something about turbo efficiency maps, etc.

and I'm not sure how many blown turbos you need to hear about dude, but I've seen plenty on these forums.
