with a leak i dont think pressure would exceed a high enough level to damage it
with a reasonable leak i dont think boost would go much past a couple of psi, if that
so the turbocharger would be spinning fast enough to damage it
however
if you clamp the voltage of the map sensor, or it fails and gives a bogus reading
then depending on your boost control, you may have unlimited boost
as the actuator spring never see's pressure, as map tells the solenoid not to open, so it never does
this in turn runs unlimited boost and can kill shit
