it will last for ever.
you can make as much power with it as exhaust manifold pressure will allow. small turbo, high boost, REALLY high exhaust manifold pressure, cylinder contamination.
larger turbo, less boost, satisfactory exhaust manifold pressure, moderate cylinder contamination
what im saying is it really depends on the rest of your setup.

Re: The "fabled" hf manifold for DIY turbo kits...questions
I ran a .48/.60 turbo on one, for a little over a year at 15psi. Ran a best of 13.003 at 109 mph, did 5 track days, and never had an issue. The biggest problem i had, was a drain line, it made the turbo sit so low, had little slope in the line. Venting the bottom end was a huge help for me.

With the manifold and adapter plate, you'll still have a rough time with the drain line slope. The mani/plate just hangs it so low. Get creative on your drain flange and pan and it'll be fine. I even did one with the same setup as you and the drain line was parrallel with the ground. The only time it smoked was driving down hills. That's worst case scenerio, though.
