Well i don't know about my 930 but i drove my ol' 240kmiles SAAB 9000T @ full chat for more than 15 minutes, doing around 230km/h w/o problems...popped the hood at gas station just to see how it looks like. Turbo and collector pipes were cherry red. Needles to say, i didn't shut off the engine while doing this...

Modern turbo engines can be driven at full boost for as long as you whish. Don't know about 930 but it has so low C/R that it should be practically unbreakable.

My Saab had 9.1:1 C/R and 1.1 bar of boost. Watercooling and big IC probably helps, tough.
