I've got a Swedish Dynamics Garrett T3/T4, plenty of power once it gets going, but it's really laggy compared to today's turbos--it's really old tech. I've done other modifications to make up for that and give the car some low-end grunt.
If you just want simple, you should probably stick with the mitsubishi turbo that is in the car now. Maybe have it upgraded with a larger compressor wheel and housing. There are several Sponsors here who do upgrades. Jak Stoll Performance for example.
There is more to getting power than just upgrading the turbo. Going with a larger front-mounted intercooler (FMIC) or adding water/meth injection can be huge improvements for example. You'll also need to take care of fueling. If you're adding air (boost) you'll have to add fuel too. As recommended by Simon, you may want to head over to the performance board and do some searching.
