Default B18 LS First time boosting - Need Advice!

hey im new to boosting, and i was wondering if i could get some suggestions on a good turbo/wastegate and manifold setup! heres what im running:

B18A1
81.5mm Ross 9.5:1 forged
eagle esp rods
eagle esp knife crank
golden eagle block guard
acl race bearings

B18B head
port and polished
crower .5mm oversize valves
crower springs and ti retainers
crower stage 2 403 cams (might be switching to 402ts)

skunk2 im
venom fuel rail
hondata im gasket
greddy 3" exaust
mishimoto civic rad

NO power steering, NO ac, so no restrictions there.

ive been looking at neukin topmount or ramhorn for manifold but im clueless as to what turbos i should be looking at.

my goal is high 300's to lower 400's with tune on s300. any recommendations would be appreciated!!

for your power goals and good for the money
get a SLS shorty manifold and 57 trim. keep it simple and cost effective. u will also need a fuel pump (walbro) and injectors (440 or higher), if you dont already have those yet. and as far as wastegates go pretty much anything you pick at that power level will be fine

I ran a few boosted LS's and made as much as 450whp on pump gas. I ran t3/60-1 and a t4-67. I also had a full-race ram horn and a rev-hard cast mani.
