Does a higher compressor trim always flow more than a smaller trim? For instance here is what I want to compare to; T3 50 trim and Holset HX35 and H1C. Since these are the choices I'm going with for my setup.

Garrett T3/T4E 50 trim
Compressor side
Inducer: 1.674”
Exducer: 2.367”
=50 trim

Holset HX35
Inducer= 2.20"
Exducer= 3.26"
=46 trim

Holset H1C
Compressor side
Inducer: 2.12"
Exducer: 3.26"
=42 trim


Clearly, the H1C and HX35 have smaller compressor trims than the T3 50-trim. Yet have significantly bigger compressor wheels.

I'm a bit confused on this part. So even if the T3 has a bigger trim, it will flow less than the other two that have a bigger compressor wheels. Even though they have a smaller trim? I appreciate everyones input
