Don't think in terms of PSI. Because PSI is a generic form of measurement to try to make measuring boost pressure possible. 10 PSI on a T61 is gonna be different than 10 PSI on a T25. The flows rates do not match.
A better way to rephrase the question would be:
"What amount of power can a stock engine hold on a daily driven car?"
The answer is: I have seen people break cars at less than 250whp and I have seen some people, (like Joe) drive over a year on 300whp daily. So this leads me to say a lot has to do with your tune and driving habits.
On a final note, remember the key phrase:
"Treat a turbo car like ____, and it will treat you like ____."

on a serious note - worry about boost levels when you are already boosted. then make your decisions on how serious you are about the engine life. you can just as soon blow a automatic volkswagen engine as you will a boosted tc. its all about how you treat it.
