HP, how much can a LIL 2.5L take? How do they Blow?

Given a well tuned induction system (air/fuel/intake temp, etc), what is semi-reasonable limit as to how much HP (at the crank) caan be milked out a stock build 2.5L boxster motor without it going kaboom. I know anything above stock HP is going to tire the motor sooner, talking here though about catastrophe.

Thinking about bottom end or wherever else it might fail. I know there can be problems with the cylinders (sleeves?). I’ve also heard that one will let go, if it’s going to, regardless of what you do with it.

Thanx PK
