It's all about how efficient your turbo is for you setup. CFMs, compressor maps, blah blah, blah

how bout this...

a t3 .42/.48 on a D @ 10#'s of boost moves lets say 24 lbs of air a minute

while a t3 .60/.48 on a D @ 10#'s moves 27 lbs of air per minutes. The pressures are the same but the volume of air is different, So which will make more power? For that you need to define "power"

Everyone here knows the .42 will give you some awesome midrange and low end, but then again, everonye also knows it won't have as big of a kick in the pants as the .60 (or a .60/.63). So the .42 may make better usable power, and the .60 may make better peak power. But basically, a bigger turbo will flow more air at a lower pressure than a smaller turbo could.

doesnt matter mid-range, or peak power... just power numbers... too i think it dependes what engine you runing with that turbo for to get differente power-range...
