Help, me find the best turbo for my Evo IX MR?

I currently have an Evo IX MR with light mods, HKS exhaust, HKS cam gears, intake, headers HKS intercooler tubing. My goal is to reach 500-550 horse at the wheels. My question is what is the best turbo choice? I've read good things about the Greddy T78 33d and then the gt35r and a few others like HKS and etc. So does anyone know the best possible turbo for what I'm looking for. I'm a noob, so any advice will help.

if you are looking for 500awhp on pump the HTA 35R kit from Buschur will do the trick if you're okay with running 30psi on 93 octane

Does anyone know anything or have any experience with the greddy T78 33d turbo? I have a friend that's trying to tell me it would be better to go with it, but I've seen a lot of people get great results with HTA 35R.

Yeah Mellon, I just saw that! I come to Memphis sometimes, but usually after your business hours I'm sure. I'll have to come check out your business someday!
