You could ask JDL to give you something like a Garrett 2560r with their kit. It's tiny and is typically run on Miatas.

I still don't understand why you're so obsessed with running a turbo outside of its efficiency range; you're not going to benefit by running a tiny turbo at 20psi vs a slightly larger one at 10. You're only to get crazy IATs. Almost every available turbo kit uses an appropriately sized turbo that makes between 240 and 300whp depending on your tune and goals.
