As you know, the turbo you use will depend on the power you want and the application. (street, drags only, autocross, etc.) With stock sleeves and pistons you probably wouldn't be able to use anything larger than a GT30. Around 300 whp would be as much as you would want to run on the street without risking ringland damage. Even then you would want a good engine mgmt. sys., intercooler and dyno time to properly set it up. With aftermarket pistons (like Mahle Gold with stock sleeves) you could use more boost and produce over 500 whp with the GT30. That much power on a street H22 is pretty useless without suspension and tire upgrades and a good progressive boost controller. (changes boost level by gear or speed) The usual upgrades would be required for either setup - fuel pump and reg., injectors, intercooler, exhaust, etc. etc.
