Which Turbo to get?

I've been trying to figure out what to do with my turbo. I've finally figured out what power options I want. The stock HX35 just won't be able to keep up once I have all the power upgrades are installed. Here what I've have and/or soon to be installed/altered:

#10 (custom - a little taken off the top for more high rpm power) full forward
3GSK
DDP stage 3
Snow water/meth stage 2 w/220psi pump (using both 625ml nozzles)
16° timing
AFC housing full forward w/light spring (no tension)
ARP head studs
Lost muffler & gutted cat
60Lbs exhaust springs
planning on 45psi boost

Piers has mention that a twin setup with my stock HX35 on top and a HT3B on the bottom would work nice for me.

Any suggestion/Comments would be appreciated.

Also any idea on what HP this will give me?

Edit: I may have to tinker with the plate position once I have the injectors installed to control EGT's. Currently hitting 1350 max with stock exhaust still intact.
