VTEC blowup?

i own a '96 civic ek which i've changed the engine to a b18c on can 2004... it was my first auto, which i had gave my sis to drive... recently, my sis gave it back to me, so i took my t55 garrett from my FTO n place it in the b18c... i ran well however after 2 months, my whole engine blew up... pistons, etc... the turbo blew up as well... that turbo was bought march a year ago n ran well on my FTO... how could this possibly happen? i revved the engine to 9000+ rpm prior to it blew up.... with no the turbo, it can effortlessly be revved to 10000+ prior to hitting 2nd gear.... is it bcos the turbo isn't configured too well on the b18c or is it bcos i revved it too high? #turbo boost is set to 1.5bar
