dont listen to sinister, he's had a sex change and he's NA

your question is very generalized and not answerable.

typically on a high compression setup, you're going to want to shy away from smaller turbos that will create more heat.

well, b16's run like 10.2:1 ish and a b18c5 runs like 11:1, and ive seen ITR's do right in the range of 300whp, and you've got a good sized turbo for the application really, so I would wager that you could make a decent 300 if you do it right and got right proper tuning going on.

but buy some pistons and rods for after you blow it, cause you will.
