Turbo choices

I know a little about turbos, not enough to really make an unassisted decision, though.

1.6L Diesel, never rev it over 4k (no tachometer yet), would like better efficiency and a bit more torque.

Right now, its turned down so that there is no smoke at full pedal with enough load to slow the car down. I don't like smoke...

Anyway, just wanted suggestions for a turbo based on those criteria. K03, T25 seem to be in the right range. I don't really want to boost more than, say, 15psi, but would like it to start spooling off idle.
