Basically didn't want to change anything just for the sake of changing stuff, as it worked well before and all we wanted to do was move the TB.

Also just asked my friend who designed it and this was his answer:

Well it's two parts I suppose: 1) because it's a wide flat shape with the ports facing outwards, the only way to make it smaller is to make it less tall, and we already know the clearance from the inside of the lid to the ports on the stock plenum chokes power so that's a big no.

And 2) Cos we didn't want to start guessing what the right size is. For NA bigger is better, boosted isn't really much different so how much smaller you can go, if at all, I don't know
