"clipping" a K24?

Hello all,

My understand of the "clipping" mod, is when the blades of the hot side of a turbo are trimmed to let more exhaust past/through the turbo.  It makes the turbo act like a larger one in some way?  My guess is to reduce the exhaust restriction so the motor can exhale at higher rpms.

I know that this is done to turbos with a K26 hot side.  But I was thinking that a K24, being a smaller turbo than a K26, might pose even more of a restriction.  On the surface, it seems that a K24 might benefit from the clipping thing even more than a K26, for our turbo motors.

I haven't hear much about this mod at all, but at least I've heard of it being done to K26's.  Is it done or useful on K24's?  If not (if so), why?

Thanks,

Ken
