  1. believe it or not a smaller turbo has a greater impact on the engine than a larger one, that is hoe it was explained to me.  


  2. 2 things.

    1.with higher pressure resulting from a bigger turbo you will need to re program the computer to add more fuel , or you will burn off the engine.

    2. now days , its easier to add a new brain rather then replace the turbo (as long as your not looking for more then 50-100 more hp)
