alot of people are getting 400hp easy on stock internals without a vtec head. dont be scared. good tune. quality parts. you can get alot of power out of your setup. do 10lbs youd be happy but youd get addicted

honestly i wuldnt turbo a stk internal b20, they are very prone to cracking cylinder walls because of the sleeve design.... if your looking for a cheap way to get a few hp i wuld recomend slapping on a vtec head or maybe just get a good set of cams

many many people turbo stock b20 and with no problem and make lots of power. when you get addicted turn it up over 15lbs and get nutss then youll want xtra motor laying around.
