I´m not sure of downpipe measures and there are
lot of hybrid turbos in the aftermarket nowadays.
But -You can find two o.e. K26 turbos; 

So called small K 26, which was used in earlier KH 
engine ( 2.1 liter ). It has 6.91 turbine.

Later K26 ( like in 2.2 liter MC-1 ) has 6.95 turbine.

They both use same GA 2664 compressor, so if You
look their compressor maps, they are equal, but I think
the small one´s  "hot side" is too restrictive for Your
purposes.
