OEM turbochargers are much smaller and run out of breath much sooner, while we've been pushing past 300whp (wheel, not crank) at 10~11psi on 92 octane fuel. That's still 4~6psi before the turbo starts running out of breath.
A tiny turbo would be like the ones that Subaru uses on the 2.0-liter motors in Japan (I've owned 5 of them!), which run out of steam completely at 250-270whp. On the flip side, they did spool a bit better than our setup - by a couple hundred rpm at most, though.

Well personally, I am quite happy with the size of my equipment, so I do not need 'big' turbo bragging rights
I decided to get the AVO kit for my GT 86 when Paul first started this thread exactly a year ago today :happy0180: As posted already, my kit is currently in the process of being fitted
Perhaps for those who complain about the size of the turbo in the AVO kit, may I suggest these
