Completely depends on the condition of the turbo Rhys, they even blow at standard boost eventually. Anything over 25 is generally pushing your luck, but will probably still last 6+ months of you drive it well, 20 is pretty safe tbh, but still doesn't guarantee it will be fine...

Mine ran around 32-34 psi for over a year but has since been lowered by a slight gasket leak to 27-28 psi

Remember, a leak doesn't mean less pressure on the turbo, it simply means the turbo is spinning faster to piss the air it pressurised to atmosphere... It's actually quite damaging lol....
