Icon2 Turbo choice for built D16A in a EF CRX

Hey all,
I'm new here but have been on the scene for years.
I'm building a tough little CRX with forged internals and all the goods.
It now has 9:1 comp with wiseco pistons and eagle rods.
The car was turbod by myself years ago with just a stock engine and I made 130 atwkw which was lots of fun. But then my rings decided to wear out.
I used a t28 from a GTR so all my piping suits that which im hoping to reuse.
Naturally I'd like a turbo that bolts up without having to modify much more.

I'm thinking of a GT2560R as I'm keen for 300-350 hp. But am not sure if it'll be too small. From what I see you can get them in a 320, 350, and 400hp model.

Any opinions/experience here? Is it best to get the 400hp one to avoid strangling my motor or choose the 350 because that's closer to my aim?
Or perhaps another turbo entirely?

Cheers for your help!

When I did my turbo setup I went with the Garrett 2876R quick spool cause of the dual BB and this was on a log manifold, can lay down some good numbers max 425hp. I'm selling mine virtually new for a low price. You really don't want to run at the max of anything, engines, turbo, fuel, etc.

Yeah, I don't want the car to run on a knife edge or anything. Might just run with the 2560R . If I wasn't in Australia I might be keen on yours bro.
