Turbo Size Question??

Hello everyone i have a scenario i wanted someone to clear up for me. ok here goes

Lets just say you have 2 EXACT cars right down to the specs. One has a T-63 turbo and the other has a T-76 or larger turbo. Both the turbo's are running 5# of boost. Would both the turbo's be putting down the same HP or will the bigger turbo put down more HP at the same boost? and if so does that mean that you can just have a bigger turbo on low boost and it would put down more HP at a safe boost lvl without damaging anything rather then having a smaller turbo on and cranking the boost up to get the same power?

Thanks everyone
~Tom

I'm no expert but my quess would be that the cars would have the same hp, but the smaller turbo would spool faster and it would be running more efficient.

the engines displacement would determine where it puts each of the turbos on their efficiency map. short answer is no.

no as in they would not make the same power nor the larger turbo necessarily make more... until you identify at least a displacement
