"you don't know what you're talking about"
"Toyota would never produce a car that was this focused on the tuner market that couldn't be boosted"
"You're an idiot"
"get out of here troll"
"Direct injection has nothing to do with how the engine works"
...Hah....Good job...

It still remains to be seen.

lol sorry didn't meant to be a ****, but too many people make annoying posts like that.

Because the common belief is that you can never have enough power?

Saying "just cuz BMW can do it" has no bearing on if this particular engine can. Only time and experimentation [or very advanced simulation] will tell.

It's usually not just the structural strength nearly as much as the propensity for detonation. From my understanding that is, detonation is far more dangerous and damaging than incrementally higher cylinder pressures. Eg. If you take a high compression engine and run race grade fuel you can usually run more boost safer unless there is a significant weak point.
I'm not trying to come across like I know what I am talking about so please excuse my inexperience.
