^^^ Exactly.

To maybe further clarify exactly what I am asking here's an example (and bear with me, I will just pull some general numbers, that might be wildly off the mark, but just as an example!).

GT-SS - 1.4 Bar of Boost to make said 320awkw
2530s - 1.1 Bar of Boost to make the same power...

Does that mean the GT-SS setup is more likely to cause gasket issues etc. (as mentioned above as examples of problems caused by high boost) over that of what the 2530s would cause running at the lower boost threshold?

OR (as Frosty? said) would it be the same amount of air actually being pushed into the engine from both setups and therefore putting the same stresses on the engine?

Any further opinions on this from those "in the know"??

Cheers
