In essence yes, but you really would NOT want too. Would most definately need a bespoke remap by someone who knows what they are really doing to make it safe on a standard engine.

Depends on how much air that 6-7psi is.
And when the MAF runs out of ability to measure airflow.

You might be able to reach around 380hp or so.
But I can not reccomend running any bmw engine on absolutely stock engine management
With great challenges comes great engineering.
