Just to ballpark, a smaller turbo could see 150k+, larger units, maybe 90k, max RPM, and approximations.

The highest we see with the big units is 130-140K on our compound twin turbo pulling tractors and trucks. But then again the turbos only last 2-3 pulls and sustain 150-200 psi of boost 
for 8-10 secs and over 300ft if your hooking 
...then its rebuild time.
