Default help choosing a new turbo for my setup

stock d16y8. the greddy turbocharger just isn't tooting my whistle anymore. It starts to fall off in psi at the top end of the rpm band at 9psi on the wastegate. I want a turbo that can handle it easily and then be good for about 20psi when I build the internals.

say all turbos are exactly the same except for wheel sizes, which would be better?

.42/.48
.42/.63
.60/.63
.57/.48
.50/.63

I still want relatively quick spooling but I also want a turbo that will laugh at 9psi and pump out 20psi under full boost to redline when I finally get that far.

whatever it tunes to. I personally dont care about the horsepower at this point. I want a turbocharger that will do what I want it to do, then I'll hit the dyno, see what I get and go from there for whatever horsepower I want mainly because I know I'll end up needing to beef the drivetrain if I shoot for TOO high a horsepower and I want to put that off for a while.

if you really really want one then I'd say about 250hp or so once the internals are built.
