Well, at least I will answer your question. No, not exactly 14.7 but a narrow range around it. If you don't believe a diesel can use a large amount of boost for engine cooling and a gasser can't because its boost is limited due to it being directly related to power output, try ramping the EB's boost up to 23 PSI and see what happens. After all, "it is built like a diesel".
Sure - Been there, done that:
Ecoboost 2.7
The engine's designer Ed Waszczenko gave us an overview of his baby; a 500 pound compacted graphite engine running two Borg-Warner turbos up to 31 PSI at 5,700 RPM. Those snails are spinning at 53,000 RPM at idle, screaming to almost 200,000 RPM at full noise.
