That compression ratio is way too high for boost. You will have to rebuild the engine with lower compression pistons and boost friendly valvetrain if you expect that motor to last.
And 8 psi is a retarded way to measure boost. 8 psi will differ from turbo to turbo, so it really depends on the CFM flow of the turbo.
The engine isn't an 04 because they stopped making B-series motors in 2001. Just because you bought it in 2004 after an alleged rebuild doesn't make it a new motor.
