It boils down to CFM. A small turbo at 10 psi may put out 1000 CFM. A large turbo at 5 psi may put out 2000 CFM. So which one puts out more air?

Or look at it this way. You have a 2 garden hoses. 1st one is a 1/2" hose. The 2nd hose is 1". You know the water pressure is 55 psi. Normal household psi. Which one will fill the water bucket up faster?

EVOHUNTER and Madcow like this.
