A lot of the turbos cars I deal will have at least 1 cylinder go into detonation before MBT is reached, so you can't rely on there being any sort of window between max torque and detonation onset, like you can with an NA car.

I agree, its not worth pushing a car to the absolute limit unless its in a very controlled environment with support (aka track car).
