A 2.5 that is closed decked like mine appears to be just as strong in relative power figures as a 2L that is closed decked. My car made 340hp@wheels on its old turbo at 15psi peak boost. For my money this is pretty good. Sure the 2L can take 25psi if its tuned well and probably squeeze a tiny bit more hp but you would have to say they are equal just different. One produces power on lower boost with more torque, the other can rev longer with more boost.

when my 2.5 is back together with its heads serviced and 272 cams and the baby Td04-3040 we shall see if 2.5's are totally shit.
