Yeah you also have a car industry unfortunately which is why you didn't get anything awsome out of japan either.

I am fairly sure they are all open deck. Not many manufacturers use closed. Toyota does a lot. The engine will be fine at 10psi. It will probably be fine at 20psi. It all depends on your tune. Any detonation will eventually kill even the best built engine. You can reliably run quite high hp on many stock engines before running into problems if you know what you are doing. People get 500hp easily out of toyota 2.0L turbo stock block engines. The c20at will hardly be as well built from the factory as that but it should cope quite happily with a large turbo at low to moderate boost with good cooling and a decent tune and fuel system.
