Default Turbo sizing, NOT A NOOB ?

Hello all, well i have turbod my d16z6 before, and i ran a garrett t3 48 42 or whatever, and it made pretty good power, im gonna run about the same setup, but i was wondering if there were any other options on turbo sizing, where the turbo whould hit harder, i loved the spool time cuase it whould start to spool around 2600 and go to redline, i def want something thats gonna spool fast, but is there any other t3 garrett turbos that will spool quick just like this one but hit a lil harder, if so, can someone give me the spec and point me in the direction, ill have about 200 ta 300 bucks for one and i need one with a internal wastegate, heres my setup if it helps

92 civic cx hatchback
d16z6
d16y8 tranny
420cc accel injectors
HF mani with BMC adapter plate
Stealthmode oil kit with restrictor
2.5 charge pipes
SSQV HKS BOV
3 Inch Downpipe
Oil catch can
Uberdata
Not sure on intercooler but something like FMIC 5 inch.
Now should i just stay with the garrett t3 i had used before and buy one like that?
The specs on the one i used before were
60 trim
compressor 42ar
turbine 48ar
and i was running 10psi, i wanna run the same but i want room for improvement, to maybe bump it up to 12 in the future, what do you guys think, Do you thinkg a t3t04b whould spool to late or no?
Thanks guys any info whould be helpful and THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE HELPED ME ALLREADY just by me reading on here, thanks

i think the saabs are the smallest of the t3's

but i think a garrett would be good for your car, or just get a small mitsubsishi turbo

you should just try to find a 60/63 t3 turbo, that should spool a little later, less than 1000 rpm, and give you some more up top

and yeah, buy the reducers. just go to autozone and get the matal ones, they're like 2 or 3 bucks a piece

I'd run a 48/60 t3, perfect size turbo for that motor. As for a reducer just hit up LSD, pick up a slilicone one and call it a day.
