Different sizes of turbos produce vastly different horsepower results at the same boost level. The bigger the turbo, the slower it needs to spin to push the same amount of air. Slower spin means less heat generated, which means denser air, which means more horsepower.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
