Small turbos can't produce enough air t high RPMs, so people refer to them running out of steam.

The higher the RPM the more air the engine consumes to the more air the turbo needs to compress. A larger and more efficient FMIC helps because the turbos don't have to work as hard as a good FMIC will have a lower pressure drop across it then the crappy stocker.
