10psi on stock turbo and fuelsystem and intercooler

so my friend and i were goofing around and i decided to strap a woopie cushion to my bov and it didnt blow off. i noticed my bov was hooked up wrong and i was getting turbo chatter the whole time, my bov blows off fine and normal now its hooked up right now. anyways now i am boosting 10 psi on stock fuel system with a stock turbo, i have a FCD and i heard those are dangerous because they make you run lean but they prevent fuel cut after 8.8psi , would i be safe as how my car sits now? would i need a bigger intercooler? any advice would be great, not trying to make my only cars motor go boom

check your wastegate, it may have developed a pinhole leak. do you have a boost controller?

10PSI on a stock fuel system with FCD is a ticking time bomb.
