Like Michael said,
You may install a biger turbo but it will take longer to spool up to speed, making the car slugish at first and then go like crazy. This could get a little bothersome if you are using the car on a daily basis.
A good example is one of my Ricer friend's Celica GT.
His car has a T03/T04 Hybrid compressor capable of producing massive loads of power!
The downfall, you can count to three before the turbo starts to spool up and go to its adjusted setting of 12PSI. He is producing 254WHP! but it feels like a Mack Truck at first.
I noticed the diference also at higway speeds. Our GTs keep a positive pressure intake and as soon as you accelerate, the car goes quickly to the 12+PSI world. His car in the same environment is at -16 at cruising speed and if you accelerate, it creeps to 0 and then it jumps to 12PSI.
Nonetheless, for a ricer with 140 Crank HP (120WHP) Jump to 254WHP, I think is an amazing thing. Also his car weighs 2,280LBS Vs our 3000+ weight.
Also, YES, he kicks my A$$ at the track!
At the lights, I jump in front but once his turbo spools up... It feels like if I had opened a parachute in my PT!!!
