Basic, probably easy to answer question.
Okay, in my question for turbo knowledge this is what I understand. The bigger the turbo, the longer the turbo lag, but the more power it makes at the upper powerband. I also understand that with a larger turbo, since it pushes more CFM of air, you can't run as much PSI as a smaller turbo that pushes less CFM of air. (assuming everything else with the engine is constant)
But since you can handle more psi of boost with a smaller turbo than a larger turbo, does that higher PSI make up for at all the lack of CFM the smaller turbo has?
If this makes sense, then someone please shed some light.![Notworthy :worthy: :worthy:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/notworthy.gif)
