Not knowing much about turbos even though this is my second turbo car, I have had to take a crash course. Still much to learn, but your new W1 turbo seems like the prefect compromise. Others, when you open the hood, you know it is highly modified. Potential problem in inspection time. With this you can pass for stock unless they are very familiar with 10th gens. Just tell the guy you raced with in Mexico that you are just stock! 
You seem to have hit the sweet spot on size. Any larger and you would lose the beautiful low in torque that our cars have that make it so much fun to drive on the street. Any larger and the stock turbo would probably kick your ass up to 5000 rpm. Of course, over 5000, Whoo Nellie!
Of course, by being drop-in you save us money and utilize all the refined engineered that went into our cars!
Well done!
