Here is a comparison of 2 very different turbo setups. The CRP stage 5 stock location turbos vs Twin Xona 5451s turbos. The Twin Xona turbos are no doubt way more capable, even more cable than what's shown here. However, big twin and big single turbo kits fundamentally change the power delivery. Everyone should understand that when thinking about what turbo setup to go with or what turbo size to put on a big turbo setup. Ultimately, for anyone going all out, I recommend going with a "big" turbo setup, we can only take the stock frame/housing turbos so far, and that 130-131 mph trap speed is about it. To get beyond that, we need to step up to bigger exhaust housings and those are currently not available in stock location turbos. On the flip side of that, anyone that is looking to stay sub 650-700 awhp I would strongly recommend going with the CRP Stage 5 stock location turbos, as they are going to give you the best overall driving experience at that power level based on what's currently avalible.
