There is a GiNormous thread around here somewhere about this whole subject. A bunch of people that really know a lot about volumetric geometry and atmospheric pressures ect. really studied it up and had a big debate about it and the conclusion was that bigger turbo at same psi nets more power. </end>
search for the thread if u wanna know more about this.. i believe there is also a big thread on this topic over at HT as well.
