27psi on S256?

So I bought a Cobalt running on 91 because I'm from Québec, Canada and the car's pushing 511hp. Turbo is pushing 27 psi ish. Is this too much for the S256? Can it hold more? I just don't want to buy another turbo because I ran it with too much boost...
FBO, external wastegate + dump tube, BOV, Catless DP, Rear and front trans mount, Engine mount.

Turbo will take that all day. I’d be allot more worried about your engine. 511 on 91 is pushing it. Are you running water meth or anything like that? Is the motor built?

Not built but tuned with Chris Zelinsky in Canada and another good one tuner.. Runing 511 since 2016 I asked back to the previous owner!

was runnin 32-34psi on mine for 2 years never had an issue, pump e85 w/100shot of a nitrous on top of that.
pump 91 is rough though, need to add some octane if you're going to push much more

You are brave or running that much boost on 91. I would be concern with your tranny and engine as other have said?
