Yes, but it's the job of the wastegate to limit boost pressure to safe values. If the wastegate doesn't do that for some reasons, another system will cut off the fuel supply. This sudden loss of power can be very unpleasant if you're pushed hard against the drivers seat during acceleration. The unexpected release of elastic energy in the seat might then sling up onto the windscreen.
