No it is not. The turbo is the same size, just has a different mount and turbine housing.

You are not going to flow anything more. Doing this swap for the reasons you have given is a 100% waste of time.

Clearly you don't either but you are entitled to your own opinion. Just because an outlet is bigger doesn't mean it will do anything. You will save time and money by sticking with a stock turbo and just intercooling it

No its not, the reason you think it pulls harder is the .84 turbine housing to the OBS's 1.15. The compressor wheel is the same size just a different design. The smaller housing will spool faster and make you think it pulls harder. Boost doesn't mean ****, its flow you want not boost. Boost is a measure of restriction not how much power you make.
