How much boost can the stock turbo take for how long???

So now I'm running the turboXS UTEC on stage four without a new turbo...

STI injectors
Supra fuel pump
Turbo back
up-pipe
utec with abc
samco hoses

How many miles do you think I'll get running 16.5 psi out of the stock turbo with the ocasional boost spike to 16.8??? Some say it can take it... I am skeptical.
