What are the specs on the turbo? If it's a small t3 it's going to fall flat on it's face in the higher rpm. I used a t3 (.42/.48) on my b16 when I first swapped it in (that turbo was on my sohc). It pulled ok up to vtec then woulod fall flat on it's face. By redline I would have only about 2-3psi of boost from 9psi.
With a budget that small I would recomend that you wait until you can get more funds together, you don't want to skimp on the tuning portion. Invest in the tuning if you want that motor to last.
