I usually don't try to push cars to the absolute edge though. I would rather give up 5 or 10 whp instead of having the car blow up when a little bad gas gets in the tank or some other variable changes. Things aren't too bad to control on a DSM though, it isn't like most turbos Hondas that have no usable knock sensor to try to save the motor if something goes wrong down the road. 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.
