which turbo to go with(wrx)

Im trying to make 300whp on my 2002 wrx...I probably can deal with 290whp but thats the minimum... My exhaust system is complete and Im going to try to do it with accessport as far as tuning but can't make up my mind on what turbo to go with...vf34?vf39?18g etc...don't want to go over kill...ill probably end up using a sti tmic and sti injectors but need advice on what turbo..anybody got any ideas?

vf34 and 39 are out of the question. 18g, 20g, or the vf22 is the best way to get 300whp

You'll need at least an STI TMIC and larger injectors just to get near 300whp.

i am looking for the same numbers and with some research i found an 18g, sti tmic and a good protune will give you right about 300whp! i have the 2.5l so you'll need some injectors.

Thanks a lot for your advice guys... and as far as tuning do you think I could you the accessport or should I use something else(utec etc...)...
most likely ill go with a 18g or 20g turbo...vf22 maybe but wanted quicker spool...sti top mount...and 660 injectors...
