Hi NiCkeL,
Like most things in life, it does depend on how much you want to spend & also how much you can do yourself.

While the CT26 won't bolt straight on, it is the easiest to make an adapter plate to bolt up to the standard 3T-GTE manifold, & it does work very well. Jason is running a CT26 on his 3T-GTE up to 24psi & is putting out just under 200rwkw (that's around 280kw at the flywheel). You can normally pick up these turbos for around $400+.

Keep in mind, you wouldn't go tweaking up the boost that high for long with out some forged pistons.

I believe that the best "bang for buck" would be a ball bearing T28 that you can source for around $800+(depending on its condition & your luck!) off a S15 model 200SX.
The T28 will spool up quicker & is a better turbo than the CT26.. besides, isn't it nice to say Ball bearing? Wink

If you have the tools & skills to make your own manifold, run oil & water lines you could probably get something like this running for a around $1200 (I managed to do this for a friend for $1120 all up)... However, if you can't then you would also need to purchase a custom manifold, which could set you back more towards the $2000 mark.

I hope this helps.
