You can do a T3/T4 hybrid, t3 on the inlet side and t4 on the compressor side, this allows the quicker spool up of the smaller turbo with more volume of a larger compressor side. It will not push 25, but will hold 19-21 with out issue.
to run 25 psi besides all the additional mods that have been mentioned you would want to look at T4 60 trim turbos minimal.

Very good point Dicky. Not many people like to discuss the efficiency points of the turbo - doesnt make for very good bragging rights. I stated that mine will hit 45lbs. But its efficiency starts dropping at about 34-36.
