I found mine slightly large too. It provides large boost numbers when I'm stepping on it, and above 2500 rpm on the highway in 5th it will pull a constant 10 psi. So lots of boost. But at 2000 rpm its under 5 psi unless I am stepping it hard. I would have like to see boost under 2000 rpm.

But it does add a bunch of power. I believe it is a .48/.60 garrett... but I dunno. Now that I rebuilt it I don't want to replace it for a while. But I am keeping my eyes open for a brand new garrett..
