The CT20 turbo's are pretty old in their design. Personally I wouldn't send one past 10 - 11psi, as every Ct20 I've ever seen always leaks oil past their carbon seal and results in mega oil smoke on lift off. Added to that, standard 3TGTE pistons aren't much chop past 10psi anyway!
I recently sold my four into one T28 setup that I built for my 3T, all I have left at the moment is a T25 to suit recon (also needs a new axle), a fully recond T28 (I wound up with two of them in the end), and a new manifold I've been building.
The new manifold is a four into two into one setup and at the moment I've yet to put a turbo flange on it, I could put anything on. Am heading towards a T3 flange as I want the wank factor when I try to sell the car (personally I think it will perform better with the T28, but people have a bigger is better mentallity!). Again, it has been constructed out of thick wall steam pipe bends so it will outlast the cheap exhaust pipe crap.
If you're interested in the manifold, turbo's, want some info on a new manifold let me know?! So the moral of the story is don't push a standard pistoned 3TGTE past ten psi (or be prepared to tell war stories like everyone else), forget about using the CT20 in any performance application, and think about how you want the power delivered to your driveline - the more power the bigger the turbo - but be careful it will also increase the lag, and I'l be half way down the road or round the track with my T28 before you get decent boost!!!
Clint!
