Only put a turbo on that suits your mods and wont break half your car if its too powerful.
Its great putting a big turbo on, but what other supporting mods are you doing?
Remember that big turbo's and more power will mean an increase in both torque and bhp, and its the torque you have to watch as thats what does the damage!

Think you will also need to be looking at a clutch and gearbox within not much time TBH, your going to either have to keep the torque down to around 300ish lbs or it will eat the above 2.
You also want reliability and drivability, a bigger turbo may mean more lag, id ask the advice of people like Andy F, Bob Rawle etc before choosing something that will give you the power but not the drivability or reliability.

PS, id also do something serious with the brakes if you havnt already

I would think from what i have heard that the td05 and IHI vf34 would be on the limits of stnd clutch and gearbox limits. The td05 is prob sailing closer to the wind than the vf34 i reckon.

I thinks its torque that does the damage and general use. Theres other people who know more than me its only what i have read between the lines. 350lbs ft is a figure that is banded about a bit.

As regards torque and gearboxes etc - depends a bit on how you drive it and a bit on luck. I know of someone who fitted a TD05 to an 01WRX (with garrett wheel, but broadly similar to a 20G), and third gear lasted a week (can't remember numbers, but sure the torque was well under 350 even at PE's rollers). I know of someone else who ran a standard gearbox for something like 40k at ~370bhp with no problems. Anything over about 320-330lbft and you need to be mechanically sympathetic or lucky or both!
