Default What Turbo to get?

I am collecting parts for my standard 52 Bugeye Wagon

So far I have:

Full 3" Decat Blitz Nurspec
STI Up-pipe
Uprated Cold air induction kit
HKS SSQV Bov
3 port Pro-drive Boost Solenoid
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump

Before I get it mapped I'm considering going a little further and getting:

VF-35 Turbo
STI Pink Injectors
STI Intercooler

My question is, Is it worth getting the last few bits or for the parts I've already collected what would be the best turbo to get? or any other parts i should be considering likes Headers etc?

What would you guys do?

Thanks

if you're going to swap the up-pipe, you may as well swap the turbo too. the turbo has to be removed to swap the up-pipe anyway

VF34/35, TD05, hybrid TD04, SC36, take your pick
STI pinks and top mount

if you don't fit the extra bits now, in a year you'll be wanting more power, so you'll have the extra expense of another mapping session

Buy the best turbo you can afford for early spool not top end beans! ..... guessing your limit will be the 5 speed box youve got, in which case.

SC36 = best blower available for the limit of the 5 speed!
VF34 = Great turbo but not cheap for a goodun
VF30 = nearly as good as the 34 but a wee bit laggyer
.
.
.
in my opinion way down the list for drivability is the TD05's .... same top end, loads more lag

cheers guys so SC36 keeps rearing its head, As its going to be town driving so id rather a quick spool low end pick up as I rarely get up to good speeds. seems this is the one to look at.
