Much, much, much better to put as large of an intercooler into your car as you can cram into it, and have a smaller turbo. Much more efficient.

Turbo size is based on the performance you're looking for. You don't put a small turbo on a large displacement motor if you're looking for big power.
Turbo size absolutely matters. A Small turbo will spool fast, but it's only going to move so much volume. With a high Displacement motor, the motor is going to push a shit ton of exhaust.
But yes, it has to be adequately cooled, no question about that.
