after noticing a difference in the 2 turbine wheels, i see that the 50trim turbine wheel which is a turbonetics stage 2 is actually quite a bit larger than the 57trim turbine wheel, which is a standard stage 1 garrett...now am i correct in thinking that the larger wheel has more surface area to catch exchaut gasses will have a faster spool than the smaller wheel but scrifice top end power potential?

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

i don't think we ever talked about that...i always assumed it was a .63 A/R hosing......so whats that tell me...faster spool but less power potential?

basically the smalelr the a/r and wheel in the turbine side will make it spool faster and have less flow on the top end.
