101 Turbo Q for dummies;
"GT35 wheel upgrade will spool approx 700rpm later than stock and make 40% more HP
The 62 billet wheel will spool approx 500rpm later than stock and make 50% more HP"

How does a turbo make more HP than another, other than raising boost pressure, ie is it possible that turbo A at 0.8 bar is making 50% less power than turbo B at 0.8 bar.
I understand that the wheel ratios affect spool time, power curve, max flow etc, but what parameters would alter to cause the quoted HP effects.
Thanks
Alan
