Default my dilema...which turbo for me, please help

ok i have a pretty nice set up my buddy installed for me. just 5000 miles on her. but i found out that i have a cheapy ebay turbo.

so its a b16a t3/t4 turbo unkown trim but small
kms valve springs + retainers
je pistons 10:1
stock bore and sleeves
eagle rods
arp head bolts
acl race bearings
crank shaved and micropolished
balanced assembly
exedy flywheel
type r mani and tb
tial wastegate with .6bar spring
hondata intake mani gasket
ngk plugs and wires
ramhorn turbo mani
b16 cams
2.5 downpipe w/3 inch exhaust w/ vibrant straight through muffler/resonator

its a great set up and put out 351whp with church with some boost creep. but the problem is i just found out that it has an ebay turbo which i never noticed. i know these things are not known for their longevity so i want to replace it with something decent and get a larger downpipe. the problem is i need it to fit my turbo mani. my turbo now is small and spools up quick and i beleive contributes to my boost creep. i would like a larger turbo that may use less boost to make similar power.

i love feeling that this little b16 feels like a ***** cat off boost but screams when i hit it. i would like a turbo that would take alittle longer to spool and then rip it when vtec hits. i would like your advice on what would be a good turbo for this high compression setup.

thank you very much. i spent some money on this and would like to have something somewhat reliable.

i feel like the weak part of my hatch is the turbo and downpipe. any advice would help. thank you. the reason i want it to fit the t3/t4 is becasue of the turbo mani and the location of the wg on it and dump tube.

and i would like to hit around that 375-400whp mark with new turbo,downpipe and skunk2 tuner 1 cams.

the truth is im not sure how to understand the trims and a/r so im looking for a round about area im looking at. but looking at garrett turbos or some others people are selling on here. yes im new to this.
