When the head lifts you know that's too much. This number isn't set in stone. There are factors that need to be considered other than boost.

Upping the timing over 16-16.5* and boost is variable to which turbo.

my stock head held 55psi @ 3,000rpm with 15.5* of timing for more than 8 months ... but that wasnt a stock turbo ( silver bullet)
