The Kokeln turbos stg 5 doesn't mean it runing a stg5 turbine wheel.
Kokeln just calls it the stage 5.
Check out their web site.

Look at the dyno chart
Its not a crazy power maker.
Look at the torque drop off.
A K27/6 does more power then that.

Actually, I don't see the point in using too huge
a compressor. Theres always the limitation of
exhaust volume/ pressure involved. Besides, I
feel that many are drawn into looking just at
the compresor flow without even considering the
turbine side at all. Yes, using a large efficient
compressor wheel with a small turbine will
help to create early boost threshold but once
it reaches a certain level, the load on the
compressor in combination with the back pressure
of the turbine/hot housing may actually be detrimental
in making good power as compared to a properly sized
turbo.
