the stock turbo isn't efficient at anything above 11 psi i find.
even with top mount, the boost would spike to 11 psi and it would kinda hold at 11 till around 5000 rpm when it starts to trail off and i end up at around 9 to 9.5 psi at redline.

punish a scale?
I've been running .8bar on my turbo II for the last year or so. Put down 232 rwhp@11 pounds, and the turbo is still in pretty good condition.
