15-20 psi boost or fuel? you'll know if your over pressurizing the injection pump... seals will start to weep.. if not... should be all good...

My truck will push of 45lbs of boost and have not had any pump leaks. You don't have to worry about boost as much as fuel psi you don't want to suck it dry, the pump needs somewhere around 8psi any lower and bad things happen. The other thing to be concerned with is case pressure which if your just doing minor pump tweeks don't worry now if you get into big tweeks you need the turbo to help burn the fuel to keep those pressure's down.
