in stock form, the turbine side chokes before the compressor does. Basically, if you have enough fuel to push your turbo past 32psi or so, then you need a larger housing to bring it down to right around 30psi.
I've read that 21psi of boost will support 350hp with no smoke. But that's a HUGE housing and would be pretty laggy-- but would be good for towing and mpg.
