They are already running the .86ar housing in a tial vband setup. Not going to get much freer flowing than that on this frame of turbo.
The torque coming on smooth has to help with knock resistance on the low-end, where knock seems to be more of an issue. I am interested in how quickly the boost could ramp up on this compression, but if concerns about the engine's strength arise I can see why it is toned down a bit.
But perhaps things will change when the rich guys get a hold of this engine and push it to the limit.
