Smaller turbo = less required to spin up = less lag? Or is this wrong?

Didnt know there was only 7k-ish of them made........thought there would have been more!!
My plan is to sell my car late summer, use free run of a car ive had left to my disposal (sis's away overseas - left me her motor) and hopefully get a cossie in about a years time
Insurance has checked out aswell - under £1k thats now so hopefully even less in another year
Im just wanting to learn as much as possible about these so I dont regret getting one, I always get a car then end up wishing id done different afterwards

Morrette Headlamps would be nice also

Seen that one also but quite unsure about a Q plate - its claiming to be a reshell but how traceable is that???? Would probably affect price once its time to sell it on aswell.

Had a quick look on there Ecks not really got into it yet....still just looking
Due to the nature of my job i'll have to get a company motor at some point due to the number of miles I do. Thinking this would be a nice motor to keep wrapped up in the garage for a weekend blast - maybe restore one over time also think its not going to drop much in value if kept in good nick so if I sold it I should see most my cash back
Need to do plenty homework on this one me thinks
