If your power goals are very modest, and you have stock cams -- great. Your engine probably doesn't flow much anyway and you won't find the turbine side restrictive in the camshafts' limited rpm band.
If you have the usual 930 upgrades -- headers, muffler, intercooler, boost, cams -- then the turbine is a limiter. Ex: a 3.6 Turbo with EFI that should have done an easy 520whp on pump gas at 1bar was limited to 480hp, and had much less midrange torque, thanks to the existing GT30-based turbo the client didn't want to change.
Backpressure.
It is your enemy.

Thanks for tuning in, Chris. I tried to PM you privately on this exact topic but your inbox was full
Just out of curiosity, what would spool faster and feel more responsive on a 3.3L/3.4L EFI EVO CAM'd motor:
- A single GTX3076R / GT35R @ 0.82A/R vs
- A pair of twin GT28RS turbo's @ 0.63 A/R ?
