also depends on the actual thickness of the copper - iirc there are three different thicknesses for different applications.
You would be looking at about 1350 psi for type k drawn (thickest copper) pipe at room temp.

Did some stuff like this in physics at university, so I am struggling to remember how to work it out, but I think smaller bore pipe allows much higher pressures.

I think you are really looking for cast iron anyway for your normal purposes

Cant see your supercharger blowing that apart, I used similar for my racer which was blowing at 20 Psi.
