theoritecally by design as much as you want... because it isnt like it gonna blow open (by design)

I guess it would depend mostly on the condition of your stock valve.

I think I read somewhere that it holds up to like 16lbs of boost, I could be wrong though..

People have use the stock BOV as far as the stock MAP sensor will take it (around 17 PSI) without problems.

From what I've read on a rx7 magazine, the stock turbines can hold up to 1.0kg^cm2. With 1.0kg^cm2 of boost, it would last almost as long as the turbine which was boosted on stock level. If more than 1.0kg^cm2, it will sugnificantly increase the stress on the turbines and it will not last as long as the turbines which are boosting with stock level..
