And remember yes - a GT15 will make more bigger, laggier, older turbo...
Power = (Torque / RPM) * ~constant~

Notice the Diesel is making over *NINE HUNDRED* pounds-feet of torque, but "only" 500hp...
The Nissan GTR is only making 500 and something lb.ft, but is making close to 700hp - this is the difference between torque, RPM and power...
Liken it to bench pressing...
Torque says - I can bench press 250kg once.
RPM says - I can lift *a* weight 500 times a minute.
POWER says - I can lift 250kg, 500 times per minute.
That is the difference... So all the plonkers who say "I don't need power, I've got lots of torque" - means that they don't understand how any of this works.
