I'm planning on turboing my N/A legacy. But I was wondering what turbo was better. A Vf11 or TD04. Will turboing my N/A harm my engine badly?

If its n/a, only 3-5 lbs of boost it all it will take with the high compression. There is lots if threads on the conversion and every thing you need to know.

The td04 will be way newer, and have an outlet that modern intercoolers support.

-In my opinion, there's really not much difference. VF11 would probably suit you better for this n/a application.

I'd be more worried if it will harm it 'at all' : -)
RS25.com has a ton of info on this, too, and most use @ least a TD04- BUT for ease of install (no IC plumbing to deal with) and the low boost (5psi on wastegate) the VF11 is a good choice....and even cheaper than TD04's...but may be harder to find a good one.

I know it's be done, but I really don't recommend just slapping a turbo on a non-turbo motor and band-aiding things like added fuel, engine management, etc.
In the long run I think you'd have less frustration and issues if you just swapped in a turbo motor and the added turbo sensors to run the turbo legacy ECU.
