Not technically, it will. With a stock engine, it will spool plenty fast as well. Smaller turbos are like a light switch- if you want something that comes on as soon you put your foot down, the 2860, 2867, or 2871 will be instant. You will need to wait a moment for a 3076, but it's easier on your engine. Mind you, he's on 100 octant here and running more boost, but the first gear hit is where you can see the real difference. The rest is in tuning. The 3076r can be taken much farther than he's pushing it, the 2867 could probably reach 400whp and be tapped out up top (not the way you want to run the turbo, you need to play in its highest efficiency range if possible)
Here are same car examples (2867 has Ptuning's revised kit, shouldn't be much different)-
