N20 Turbo Upgade

I came across this video by Turbo Lab America where the turbo is machined out to make it bigger.

Has anyone done or heard of machining the turbo like this? Would it bring any noticeable gains?

As mentioned in the video, you will get more whp.

What is NOT mentioned ...is the impact on the
lower end torque.

I too would appreciate more insight on this matter.

From a small upgrade like this, you won't see any change in lag.
