^We are talking about one 2.0 liter engine, mine. And two different turbos one which will flow a certain amount of air in a minute and another that will flow more at the same boost.
I don't have maps for both turbos (I have never seen a map for the evo16g) but lets pretend my current smaller turbo is 90% efficient at 20 psi (just pretend with me) and this new larger one is only 10% efficient. If the wheel on the less efficient one is large enough it can still flow more air and make more power.
You aren't saying anything wrong, it just doesn't have anything to do with what is going on here. Small wheel putting out a small amount of air vs a larger wheel putting out a larger amount of air. Engine size and boost remain constant the only difference is how much air one compressor pushes out vs another.
In other news as a fwd car I can't ever be as quick as Chris. I also don't know what he was trapping but I doubt I am faster. Explosions will not happen with this car unless something catostrophic and out of my control takes place.
