You have to keep in mind that this is a GT3574, and it has the exhaust housing machined to take a larger turbine wheel. While you can compare the results to a GT35, you can't compare them apples to apples on their exhaust A/Rs because they aren't the same turbo (not that end anyway).
Bigger turbine a/rs in my experience come into boost sooner. They do however take longer to get to full boost. I like this as it doesn't shock load the drivetrain with a sudden jump in torque from really fast boost rise.

Thanks for helping me understand. So the "secret" is more/less utilizing a large A/R T4 housing with a high turbine trim mated to relatively smaller compressor? And is there a limit: I.e. why not go 1.34 or 1.52 turbine A/R?

There is a balance to everything. The bigger the a.r. the bigger your exhaust system, and the less restriction you need to help balance things out or it will be too peaky of a turbo system. Bigger a.rs also breather a lot better on the top end and therefore lower egts another nice benefit...

There isn't any machining of the turbine housing/wheel. We just take a standard P trim turbine wheel/housing mated to a t3/t4 chra, make a custom backplate and slap on a To4S housing with a Gt35R wheel. Basically this is nothing more than an updated 60-1.
