Smaller turbo's have less weight to move so easer to spin, the same reason we use lighter flywheels, lighter crank pulleys, lighter anything thats in motion. It takes less power to accellerate or put in motion. The size of the compressor and how fast it spins within it's envelop determines how much boost you'll create.
