I understand your point and will not laugh at your hand drawn graph......much
But I actually do putt around in 5th and 4th at 2800rpm or so and enjoy just stabing the throttle to pass someone. I don't want to have to drop a gear to 4500 rpm to pass someone.
For a track setup or for someone that enjoys cruising around 4k a T3 seems great!

Passing at 2800rpm? Damn, I wouldn't even attempt that on a stock spooling turbo! GEAR DOWN SON!

correct,
if you are driving a car in straight line, and ALWAYS shifting at redline, i agree, a large frame turbo can have its benefits..
but in the case of what 98% of our client base is (daily drivers, weekend auto-x, road racing) the stock housing turbos are typically being used in their sweet spot more than a large frame turbo..
remember, we do everything.. stock housing, we have our evo X long header tial setup coming, and compact tial housing setup... and our stock frame options... why because there is no universal solution...
5 years ago everyone was going 35R 35R 35R... then the stock housing stuff came out, and people saw the benefits of the applications and look how that niche grew??
Michael, I think we both agree....... to disagree LOL

While we await Bryans BBX-lite test.....
Let's see if my findings are correct.
I have found by looking at various dyno graphs that these turbo's can:
After 4-4.5k the RED takes over for sure.
Is this what everyone is seeing?
