I had the very same issue with mine when it was tuned, all strapped down to the dyno and then had to drive out to the nearest Honda Dealership and try to explain to the service person why I needed the VIN coding into the ECU.

Car is on dyno now, small issue this morning - Honda didn't put the VIN inside the ECU, so we had to recovered the car from our workshop to Honda to code the VIN back in for us to access into the ECU.
Is all ok now, finger cross!

15.5 psi 
Razz told me he needs meth to get that high 
.So how high are you pushing it on the stock engine Dixon ,I keep on telling people that you kill these engines by lack of cooling ,inefficient set up or a bad tune .
I think 18psi is my limit, but mase tuned Phils s2k with a gt35 to 22psi 604 whp befor the engine was forged.

There isn't an official limit on this engine, I have not heard anyone have said oh my engine blew at XXX psi, I have seen people pushing over 700bhp with 11000rpm on Boost S2000 in America and the car still running everyday on stock block.
We have all temperature control with large uprated Charge cooler, Oil cooler.
15.5psi isn't much on the S2000, this engine is good enough for over 500bhp.

There is a limit with any engine, I know this for sure its physics but I see where Dixon is coming from though. Its down to the tune, turbo and ultimately the internals and the setup at the end of the day. I know a guy who had a C20LET built engine running 540BHP the boost was upped a bit about 2-3psi even though it was tuned correctly/safely the engine (cant remember why but my mate said it reached it natural limit when they did a tear down) had failed because it reached its natural limit due too much boost - not the same as an F20c but nevertheless there will be a limit. He managed to break an oil pump years ago though!, i seen the gear in peices LOL.
But yes 15psi and beyond this engine will easily take it.
This fella is good hands though
