The quantity of air that flows through the engine at a given boost pressure, temperature and rpm is detemined by the flow characteristics of the engine(port size, valve size, cam, displacement) and not by the characteristics of the compressor that creates the boost. Other than minor differences in parasitic losses from bearings and belts, boost is boost regardless of how the engine created it.
Silo's chart indicated a larger turbo could flow more air than a small turbo at a given pressure, which is not true if they were both used on identical engines. It would be true if the larger turbo was used on a larger engine.
