Default picking turbo ls/vtec 400+ hp

i have a ls/vtec with 308 hp and i want to get in the 400's so what turbo do you recommend? can a t3/t4 hybrid do those numbers? i have just read the hybrid can do 400 + hp but then others say 350-375 so im looking for advice of a better turbo to use. im looking for drag car 1/4 mile.

ls/vtec b16 head
eagle rods
wiseco 8.8 pistons
arp rod bolts and head studs
gsr cams
750cc injectors

a standard t3/t4 57 trim will do the job nicely...i had a 60 trim t3/t4 on my first setup. Straight ls turbo with cams and I made 373whp on 18psi on pump gas pulled like a beast. If you know someone and can get a deal they go for like $550 bucks VERY affordable
P.S. And itll be a garret turbo

A simple t3/t04e 57 or 60 trim will get you there, BUT alot of info is missing for what KIND of power you're looking for, what you're trying to do with the car, and whether the motor is already built or no. Post your current setup.
