Take the compressor cover off and measure the wheel. I think that the H1E came in 3 varieties. Unfortunately the biggest of them being a 60mm compressor. The large turbine might help it out, but that thing is going to be pushing about 500 HP full-tilt. If you have the 50mm version, its a paper-weight.
The cheap ebay GT45 can make 720-750 at the flywheel. Even for a chinese turbo, its still newer technology and a bigger compressor than the H1E.
