Default boost build up question

took a turbo charged z for a spin the other day, has a JIC full ti exhaust on it the owner mentioned not to build boost because the exhaust might crack... i just nodded and hit the gas

what exactly did he mean? keeping the revs high between gear changes? or feathering the clutch? just wondering and doubt the exhaust would crack? its made out of TI for good reason

What he meant was: Don't hit the NOS or you'll blow the welds on the manifold.
