Not too high pressure. You can run 30psi on a 14G out of a DSM or run 30psi on a diesel turbo. It's about the CFM and the rated horsepower. The 14G will spool faster than a larger turbo...
Turbo's blow becuase people use ****ty FMU's or don't get a tune. They run lean or rich, either one is bad. Or the pressure inside is too big, too much power. Weakest link is the rods in a D16.
Nitrous you can melt a piston/valve because of the high heat. You can get MUCH more instant power (TORQUE!!) from Nitrous than you do from a Turbo car. Big difference. Nitrous will kill an engine when lean via detonation, or if rich, blow by will kill the rings. Then there's heat where you can melt pistons and valves....
Either has it's own pro's/con's, and it's own problems, but it's not that big differences in the problems you run into..
