no. too big of a turbo on an engine results in a bad power band, too much turbo lag, and sometimes even loss of traction due to too power coming on at once.

very true. but my main concern would be over reving the turbo. what would be your recommendation for him then?

the best options i could think of would be to either get a similar sized turbo with better efficiency. or he could swap inductor housing (changing the ar on the housing seems to be effective for lowering the mid range efficiency but increasing the overall cfm flow) , or porting the turbo he has.

More wastegate priority in the manifold design.
