How much power you after, lol, a Biilet 35R will do 700-750bhp.

You do NOT want a Gt42 for 5-600. Gt30 or 35 would be far better, and cost a shedload less for up and downpipes.

850-900 +. Far too much.
It has long been my point of view that you should fit the smallest turbo that will meet your power requirements, not the largest or cheapest.
For your goal on a 2.3 I would fit a Billet GT35 with a .63 exhaust housing.
