Decide your power goals, then pick a turbo and see if it gets you were you want, forget psi, aim for hp first then decide, JMO

How much boost you can run depends on turbo selection and what you tune it with. 185whp shouldn't be too much of a problem.

id go with t3/t61. no just playing you should reach 185 to the wheels at 7-8lbs of boost with a t3.
