Short-stroking is actually good if you want to make less torque but still have the power. So there is no problem with revvy turbo engine as long as you know what you are doing.
Remember: other than thermal limit (mitigated with oil cooler), gearbox does not really feel power...it is torque limited. You can break it with 100hp turbodiesel or live all day long with highly strung 300hp N/A engine spinning 8000 RPM.
This guy found the limit. And on stock 915, that limit is pretty low.
