Help me chase 300whp

You can get either a VF39/43/48. They will all get you around 300whp but probably not much more than that. The TD04L turbine is tiny and even though you have a 19T wheel the turbine is not sized correctly to be able to take advantage of the compressor wheel. The WRX guys that upgraded to a 19T never really made much more power.

Bringing this up again as i have been rearead quite a bit around VF43/48 as suggested and just have a nagging feeling that I may may be pushing it to the edge of its capabilities giving me ~300whp, and I'd rather something reliable than constantly stressed (like my poor TD04L-19T is right now).
So, asking the same question above, could i Transplant my 19T wheel into a TD05H-16G with new cover plate? Would this get me where I want to be or would it be laggy as hell?
Also, i im now running a lovely Kraken cast manifold, downpipe and 3" exhaust, as i was sick of reparing my DIY effort.

there's thousands of Subaru's making 300whp for decades on the vf.
do you just like overthinking things? if yes, then by all means do some weird off the wall hybrid turbo setup and enjoy the small potential that it might not totally suck vs pushing the easy and cheap button.
turbo's are not "stressed" when they're within their appropriate comp/turbine maps.

Well my first one killed itself due to a lack of oil (AN-3 pipe) and my latest core has developed more radial play than i would like, to the point where ive slightly enlarged the housing. And thats with AN-4 pipe and at least 600ml/min oil flow.
Looks like a rebuild kit is required before the nurburging trip next week. Although i was using the repair as an excuse to upgrade.
