It's not nonsense, it's science. Larger turbos spool more linearly than smaller ones do, given the same exhaust volume and target MAP. The reason for this is because the curve for a larger turbo is higher. Doesn't mean it's unbearably laggy which is the main "incorrect" assumption by people who say big turbos suck. You have no evidence to prove otherwise besides the napkin-math you find on nasioc or other less than 12.5 compression ratio car forums.
Yes, you can always take power away from a smaller turbo like you said with timing/ebc. It's not for me, I like efficiency, which is the entire point of the turbocharger, efficiency.
I'm fine with people making their own choices, but don't give out your opinions as facts. So before you go saying "severely" increases lag, I invite you to take a ride in my car.
