I have seen a Two rotor at 40psi+ (13bREW) running on alcohol. Its all about fuel/ignition management. You can break your engine at 6-7psi if it is badly tuned but you can have a reliable engine at 20plus if it is perfectly tuned and not break for years...

When you get your Ph.D. in Physics from Duke University and win a few 24Hr races with a Mazda ask me again.
28 years ago I worked for Champion Spark Plug doing research in Toledo Ohio analyzing combustion propogation at 2000 frames per minute. I'm guessing you were still filling your diapers with dinner from the night before about then.

Paper pushing dipshits. Thats all they are... Yes Kane a Supercharger is a way better that a turbo! You don't have to tune it....oh wait...never mind. Something is bound to get broken if you listen to me cuz I don't have a degree.

I'm a bitter retired rodeo clown with severe arthritis and a wicked lissssssp. I howl at the moon, drink wild turkey on my porch, and shoot the local kids with a paintball gun on mischeif night. One time, I got my **** caught in an elevator door and road 42 stories at 1200 fpm pretending to be grooming my beard in the door finish. My children cut up my food for me so I can chew it on the one side of my mouth with teeth. I'm a registered democrat and vote republican because I'm cross eyed and highly dyslexic. One time I tried to do a word search and wound up in the hospital for a week. I also own an Rx-8.
These are my technical qualifications.

Just because I thought it was worth mentioning: I've seen FDs approach 200k on the original motor. This is not the norm, but I've seen it and they weren't babied either. Just stock and well maintained.
I think they made around 10 PSI boost.

hmmmm, what's that, about 33 and a third frames per second? NTSC TV is 29.97 FPS, Movie film at 24 FPS.... I don't think you could see a turd propagate out of my dog's *** at that slow a frame rate let alone the deflagration of gases!
