Default LS/Vtec Turbo Question??

Ok, so I had an Ebay turbo on my car that blew out after a week and a half of using it... Anyways, so I picked up a Garrett T04B81 for $100 from a friend of mine, it is in very great condition though, I don't know too much about these turbo's, just trying to find out what kind of power I would be looking to make on 10psi with a Stock b18a1 just been rebuild with new bearings and rings and such, but has an ITR head. I would say I would like to have 300whp, but I know that isn't going to happen unless i'm on around 15psi, but I have a stock map sensor sooo yeah.. Anyways, any help would be appreciated.

I had a to4b on a stock b16 with gsr cams that made 288whp on 8 psi. so I think your goal is very reasonable. they do spool pretty late though due to the large exhaust housing but it should get the job done.

Looks like a tractor T04B on an on center housing. Could make anything. The T04 K7 may have may be different than yours, so Power level cannot be known at all, but he is correct in saying that it will be very unresponsive because of the large exhaust wheel and exhaust on center housing.

Yeah, it did have a V band on the intake side to the piping, but my friend fixed that so that I could use it on my set up. I was worried about rebuilding mine because of it being an "ebay" turbo I was scared it would just mess up again. I am however going to rebuild it just to have a spare turbo, and possibly go back to it a little later.
