How much power are you looking for? A good all round turbo for a daily driver is a td05 18g and you would need the 550c injectors to get the best from the turbo.
I would also suggest a slightly larger uppipe and some ported standard headers to aid spool up and power.

With your current mods you will probably be around 320-330 but at the limit of the injectors and turbo.
The turbo is from Andy forrest and uses a larger compressor wheel to give you around 380bhp. It is a front entry turbo as all 97 onwards models are front entry.

Agree with Banny, TD05 18G with 550cc injectors is a good choice and should be up and around 380 bhp after your remap.
