K26 small Vs. Big no contest

Just gained some new turbo experience in my CGT turbo..

I pulled the K26 for a rebuild and replaced it with a K26 from a 5kt.  I have
to say that the UrQ K26 that was on the car is twice the turbo that the 5kt
K26 is.  Both the wheels and housing from the UrQ K26 are much larger than
their 5kt counterparts.

The smaller K26 does build boost marginally quicker but it lacks the 3300rpm
punch of the bigger version.  In fact the CGT now feels like it has a 200hp
NA motor, which is fine except that if I am going to have a turbo I want to
feel that punch...

Neither of the PNs are listed at SJM but I would imagine they are common;
The small K26 is an 035 145 703 H
The Big K26 is an 035 145 702 BX,  the large version also has a 2-piece
compressor housing.

If anyone has any info on the larger version please let me know..

Thanks
Matt Kramer
