need advice for sizing my turbo

i am about to purchase a new turbo for my engine
i am shooting for >600rwhp

now, i am not interested in everybodys opinions on whether that is possible
because i am doing it
heres what i am asking

my preferable turbocharger would be a turbonetics GTK series

now my problem here is that turbonetics never released compressor maps to my understanding on these turbos

so to handle 600++++rwhp should i go with an 850? or should i just get a 1000 series?

all help would be appreciated

well
yeh, i'd love to just get the biggest one possible
but if the 850 will, as an example, support right up to 750rwhp, i dont need a 1000, because then i wont hit boost as quickly

actually the lag won't be that much different and if your truly looking for the 750 mark then your going to be stressing the hell out of the 850 and i'd honestly say it won't even get there.

for those kind of numbers you'll need the big boy and even then it's a tough call. the GTK's lack on the turbine side.
