How is the below "sudden" power in comparison to a large frame turbo that goes from nothing to 14psi within a short 1000rpm?



Yes, it's responsive. But sudden? Far less sudden than a setup that is basically doing nothing till 4000 then gains up to 200ft/lbs of torque over 800rpm. Now, that's sudden.

However, a large turbo is certainly easier to tune - you don't have to do much to the tuning until you are well into open loop.
