Usually a higher TQ number than HP number is indicitive of a turbo being overworked. Looks like by doing the big wheel you are actually reducing backpressure, egt's, & making the longevity of a turbo. That's strange as usually as that would've been the opposite effect expected by creating an even larger gap/ mis-match between compressor & turbine housing? As long as it can't be attributed to something else that may be a nice little marketing tool.
By increasing the HP & reducing the TQ from the standard S3 turbo results you'll be making a bigger HP number to talk about but *might* not result in much of a reduced ET at the drag strip (ie: big turbo's making 425whp & 425wtq going as fast as a basic S3 making 375whp & 450wtq.
Again, just 2 different ways of going fast. Neither one is better or worse than the other... just different. Thus we have the same end result as trying to size all turbos... it's a matter of your personal preference.
