Ok, bench racing might have been a low blow. Things like "80 roll champ", "dyno queen", "highway killer", etc..., come to mind, but name calling is immature, so I won't do that.

That last part was a joke but in all seriousness, if both setups are running the same max boost pressure with similar peak numbers, a properly sized turbo will hit peak boost pressure a lot sooner in the powerband, giving much better numbers under the curve.
I respect your point of view.

I love turbos, just on porsche's
