How much boost can a T04E hold up to?

Way To Small!
I am running a pulling truck with a Detroit Diesel in it, and run a single T04E. I am completly happy with it's performance, but I'm worried I'm pushing it too far. Under full power, I can top over 50 lbs of boost, and I just watched a video of my last pull tonight, and noticed a very distictive "scream" from the turbo, very different from the normal "whistle". It almost sounds like it's slightly out of balance. You can see and hear it at this link Detroit Diesel 3-53 1 Ton Toyota Lawrenceburg H Tractor Pull 2012 - YouTube. What do ya think? Am I destroying it?
