So comparing a normal RS500 spec t4 to some of those used on the race cars is not comparing apples for apples with regards ultimate performance.
Correct, but compressor wheel or exhaust wheel was not changed, that would have helped with the back pressure, possibly allowing it to hold more boost at high rpm as e standard exhaust housing does get a good amount of back pressure
