not true, all things the same at the same boost level you are moving the same volume of air through the engine. But you may make more power with the bigger turbo cause you generate less heat

-Specs on Engine - 408, 9.5-1, 235/235-610/610-116+2 cam HUC lobes, TEA Trick Flow 235 heads, Vic Jr, 90mm TB, KB T-6 3" Id turbo log, 4" DP, 4l80E, 3.42 gears
-On the 2 step at 3500 rpm, still able to build the same boost.
-The 98mm does spool a lil slower, but comes in at a lower ramp rate, helps maintain traction
- I also can get on the brakes at 70mph and start building boost = 70mph smoke show... lol
-Waiting on better weather to turn it up and see what it does.

Ever heard of Volumetric Efficiency? So your telling me a 66mm impeller at 15#'s of boost will move the same amount of air as a 91mm large frame turbo at 15#'s of boost?
