The turbo can only push as much air as the ducting would allow it to. The tubing in the Mazda is gonna be the determining factor here, not the turbo. And besides the duct work, the motor has a maximum flow that is also gonna limit the amount of volume that the engine can even use. That's where the waste gate comes in. It dumps the excess to the atmosphere. Poorly selected and tuned waste gates can blow engines actually more often than big turbos do. I don't see much issue with the car running on 24 psi of boost. If a non-forged Honda 1.6/1.8 can run over 35psi, I wouldnt worry too much about 24 in a larger, forged motor...

The OP claims that he runs it daily. The question is how long it will hold at that pressure. I'm sure most motors can hit 50psi but for how many seconds? I highly doubt the OP's friend will have any issues with ducting especially with the way that it sounds it it's modded. The wastegate is moreso to regulate the amount of pressure built by the tubo so that you can prevent overboosting. Technically, the higher the PSI the more air you can cram into the cylinder regardless of how much the engine flows. There will always more air per cubic inch in relation to PSI.
