More boost doesn't necessarily mean more power. A larger turbo will generally provide the same amount of air with less boost. It is not just about boost levels, but also the amount of air the turbo can (safely & reliably) push through.
You're going to have to explain that one before I'm going to buy it?
I certainly agree that more boost does not mean more power but:
If one turbo has some design limitations that are causing the air to get hotter than the other, or if one turbo is causing more turbulence than the other, I can see the cfm being affected but as a general rule a larger turbo charger is not going to push more air through the same engine as the smaller turbo without also affecting the boost pressure.
In basic form, 1 psi = 1 pound of force per square inch. A larger turbo increases the amount of square inches in the system therefore 10 psi of a small turbo is not flowing the same mass of air as 10 psi of a larger turbo. There are also things such as greater air density of the larger turbo since it is not as hot from not having to work as hard, but in short the mass of air they move is not the same. There is also less back pressure with a larger turbo and therefore more air is able to flow through the engine.
