Lol.
I remember when I thought I needed a turbo for that.
OP, the 2554 sized SR20 turbo will spool very quickly, and is more than adequate for your desired power.
I've seen a nice setup make 225 at the wheels.

Calling it an "SR20det turbo" is part of the confusion regarding your turbo, since they came with different turbos. If it's a GT2560R ball-bearing turbo, that turbo is an ideal match for a stock 1.8.
Most SR20s came with a smaller, journal bearing, 2554-sized turbo. This is a fantastic turbo for a stock-block 1.6.
Which one is being offered to you? If it's free, take it. lol

I have a 1.6. I am pretty sure I am gonna do a 19t upgrade on my 15g while its getting rebuilt and stick with the 19t. Im gonna keep the other turbo anyway.

Better spool with a bigger compressor wheel....news to me.
Trust me I know, I've spent a lot of time tuning EBC, and writing about tuning EBC. Read around, there is some good stuff.
Blew both my trans and diff at 200-220ish hp. Torque right below 200ft/lbs.

Aidan is something of a destruct-o-matic though, so take his experiences with a grain of salt.
Here's a suggestion, and what I would do in your shoes:
Buy this:
Mitsubishi TD04 HL Turbo Repair Rebuild Kit Isuzu 4BD1T TD04HL 15g 49189 005XX | eBay
Rebuild your turbo
Run it
Take the free turbo to play with later
