Your 100% … A more efficiencent turbo will make more power … but a 62mm @ 64psi is pushing less air than a 66/74 @ 64psi & the 66/74 will be more efficiecent. ---

its the main caps that walk and can rip off with high hp on GM blocks, especially small blocks. I’m not sure about the LSx stuff as they have 6 bolt mains i think. Diesel stuff i also have no idea but the mains are where the greatest load is ---
