Question turbo Hot Housing?

I'm changing the turbo out replacing it with a PDR HX35 my question is should I change the housing to 14cm or a 16 cm or just leave the housing at 12cm? I will be running a 10 plate with 215 injectors and a 3k kit. I haul a lot of weight so I don't want over fuel it to bad and i don't want much turbo lag.
What do you guy's think?

I only have one of those "VE" pumped engines but... I find the 16 is a good mix between drive pressures and spool up, YMMV.

A 14 wastegated housing will flow more and have lower back pressure then a non w/g 16.

The driveability is also better with a 14.

I would also vote for the 14cm with your mods.. That would help out alot in the top end fueling and EGT. With the stock 12cm, the fuel load over 2700 RPM makes the EGTS climb pretty fast. That housing is a good compromise.
