Everything depends on the condition of the units are in. You really don't have to worry about the intercooler or the injectors, they only have one purpose....and if properly maintained then they should last a while. The stock turbo on the other hand can handle app. 18 psi. and that's not saying you should go that high. A safe level is from 8-12 psi. depending on your driving style. BUT REMEMBER IF THE TURBO, INTERCOOLER, OR INJECTORS ARE IN BAD SHAPE THEY WON'T LAST LONG, SO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SHIZNIT.
