Default Oil filter help

So I recently got a turbo'd S2000, and I'm going to replace the oil with 5W-40, since the previous owner used 60-weight when he had it.

Now I'm not sure what filter to get, reasons being:
- The filter in use now has a flow rate of 7-9 GPM (the filter is a Wix 51085 - Part Details )
- From what I can figure out, I need to use a filter that flows 9-11 GPM?
- As pictured below, I have a Mocal oil filter relocation kit, meaning it takes filters with "3/4 UNF" thread. Most filters I've found that flows 9-11 are M20x1.5 metric.

What filter do I need? I've found 3/4 filters, that's not a big issue, but they either have no flow rate information, or they're rated at sub-9 GPM..

Since you’re turboed, may want to post this in the “Forced Induction” subforum down below—-lots of folks with knowledge on turbos there and may get more responses.
