if i'm not mistaken, often times rally cars don't run wastegates, they just let the boost spike as high as it will go, and it trails off at higher rpms due to the restricter.

as far as turbo'd n/a engines, it's alllll in the tuning (well, mostly). you could run 5psi and blow your ring lands to pieces, or you could 10psi and have a safe, reliable engine. tuning, fuel, and maintenance.
