Effects of Primary Size on Turbo Motors

Pretty much what it says. What effect does it have on spool-up, Exhaust flow, etc. I was thinking of making my own Kit since PTK would want me to bring the car to them. I have the ability, and some knowledge, I just need to finish what I need. The motor is going to be a 383 with a PT-96 Turbo. The question is 1. can 1 3/4 support 1600 crank HP? 2. will going to 1 7/8 hurt spool-up that much that I won't be able to use it all in the power band?? 3. And what other bad side effects would come from upping the primary size, aside from the delayed spool??
I guess this is for you hard core Turbo guys...

Oh, and I plan on getting it to spin to 8K. Don't ask me how yet, but I will...Figure the motor will be screaming to launch something though!
Thanks For the responces so far guys.
