Default Re: 13G vs. 13C Turbos

one thing you guys aren't considering is the larger turbos are going to be opening the wastegate sooner and more often than the smaller ones.

This means not as much exhaust has to go through the turbine, so you should see gains just from that.

What do you think is going to make more power? A turbo that is in the higher parts of its efficiency running 85-90% of the exhaust through the turbine or a turbo running in the middle of its efficiency running only 60-70% of its exhaust through the turbine?
