That is not really the most accurate way to estimate what you can do.
8 psi on a T25 is not the same as 8 psi on a GT3076. To the original poster, the answer is low boost on a small turbo is a safe bet, however boosting a non turbo motor will inevitable result in destruction - the old saying of "not a matter of if, but when" it will blow applies here.
So do it right, build the motor with appropriate internals, then boost. Unless your goal is to see how far you can push a stock motor before it blows, in that case go ahead.
