This picture makes it look like the compressor wheel is trashed:

Maybe it isn't, but it sure doesn't look good in that pic. To get an idea of what type of hp it can support, take the compressor housing off and measure the wheel. Compare this to wheel diameters of turbos that you know the hp level of to see more or less where you're at. Judging by the numbers given I'd guess your not going to be able to power much more than a mild 4 cylinder with one of those.
