This will allow you to turn the boost up higher and inturn create more power from the turbo you select rather than using N/A mods like cams and new valves. yes, those will add power but making the motor able to handle the boost better is a good goal to start with. you should go here www.homemadeturbo.com and read everything. it helped me alot...
I wouldn't even build the motor given his budget, and the fact that the B16 is a lame duck.
