this looks like trouble
www.bnrturbos.com Read up on them on the site.. I think stage 3 is what you are looking for.
^maybe not, sounds like he's trying to do it right...
Are you getting any port work done?
If your running stock ports, then id sugjest maybe a hybrid to4/hiatchi like a BNR, the made 400whp with there stage 4. Buuut if your going to all the trouble of S/p or B/p, then you might want somthing a little bigger...The GT series of garrett turbos are preaty dope, they preaty much make the t series look obsolete...i rod in my friends 500hp STi, hes running a Gt34r...my god it spools so fast, he hits 20psi by like 3400...but you said your only lookin to make 370hp...this might be over kill for your application...Check out the single turbo section, lots of good info there.

^ hence that's why bnr might be a good choice. Stock port and street port on BNR's produce very good hp it's when you get into mild or full bridge that when they become pointless. I think the hp numbers posted on the site are on stock engines but then I could be wrong.
