Lightbulb STI MY08 stage 2 turbo question

I reached the limit on my stock setup on vf48 turbo (295whp at 1.3bar) and I am slowly looking for a stage II parts. What turbo will fit as a bolt on replacement to my 2009 STI? My options are limited by qualifications of local garages, so I consider only bolt ons. What do you recommend to pass 300whp limit and reach 320-330 whp? (but without giant lag).
What injectors size?

I got cosworth forget internals, cosworth head gaskets, aem intake - engine is pretty much ready for the next step. DP and milltek exhaust are there too. The car will be setup on meth + Pb95, so I dont expect to make it a 600whp monster - just increase the performance little bit more, since the engine has already been rebuilt (like any other STI in the middle east - piston cracked @ 10kkm, even before first remap).

750cc denso injectors, They are oem fitment and plug in no problem at all.
turbo choice, I've just secured a Garrett MD321T std location turbo which will do the job nicely. or you could look at scoobyclinic's billet SC range they are std positioning too

Blouch 20GXTR. No lag and much cheaper than SC turbos (blouch makes SC turbos)
