general consensus will be that up to 14psi is 'safe' but still however it all comes down to a piece of string (and how long it is)

Ran my 34 on 12psi comfortably for over a year without dramas. I think you'll find the 33 and 34 turbo's are both fairly "fragile" when it comes to high boosting as they both have ceramic turbine wheels, the only real difference between the 2 is the 34 turbo has a lightened rear turbine wheel which makes it spool a lot faster than the 33 turbo. A lot of guys have rebuilt both these turbo's with "high-flow" steel wheels and have found they are able to run upwards of 18psi, getting around 240-250kw's on a proper set-up engine. Look at the forced induction thread, you'll find a bit of info on it.

Hope this helps bud.
