Ignore this.........

The problem comes with long term power, if you are driving hard for more than a few minutes the power will drop considerably and you will also need to keep your eye on engine temps as they will climb much faster on TMIC.
IMO a VERY safe boost to run on TMIC, worry free would be ~18/19psi. Any higher and you will just need to be sensible and have some mechanical sympathy.
