OEMs have to make compromises that the aftermarket isn't subject to. It's why every factory turbo vehicle has a market for turbo upgrades. They tend to use small turbos and intercoolers where bigger ones will fit . In the end, you end up payin for all that stuff twice (once from the dealer and again from the aftermarket). Also, OEMs tend to use lowest-bidder parts. See the mazdaspeed mx-5 turbo as a perfect example.
