Default What can it take?

I'm new to all this Audi stuff and I have a couple of questions.

1- How much boost/bar can my turbo take before it blows up? What is safe?
2- Do I have to worry about my 6spd manual with extra hp mods? What can it handle?
3- What is a DV?

Thanks in advance...

Is that a steady 16psi or a 16psi spike?

DV = Diverter Valve
Just like the BOV it takes the extra boost off the turbo during deceleration or downshifting so you dont **** your turbo up with pressure that has nowhere to go. Difference is, BOV just sends the boost out, just wasting the boost, where the DV sends the boost to the airbox to be reusued during acceleration again
