how much boost can a stock VG33E bottom end & HG hold?

Planning to boost the stock vg33e but it doesn't seem like anyone sells a MLS gasket or forged pistons for this engine. Maybe a custom one? I have ARP head studs but running stock gaskets make me worry. Anyone know what safe boost limits the stock bottom end & gasket can handle? If it matters, the engine is from a 02 frontier.

About 350hp - 500hp depending on the tune and condition and history of the motor. Stock block is capable of well over 800hp. Crank is forged, rods are (forged or shot peened?), pistons are cast. The pistons and rods are your weak points in that order.

Make sure your oil pump is good.
