Need a refresher on turbos

1, Housing sizes such as HY-HX-35, HX-40, 12cm, 14cm, 16cm, etc... is that the intake side or the exhaust side?

2, When increasing size on one side do you increase the other side proportionally or just increase the one side?

3, At what point does boost become inefficient with the HX-35 and HX-40 with say DD's Super Mental injectors?

4, With a twin turbo set up, would the smaller turbo overshoot it's efficiency range enough to cause problems with the larger turbo?

Thanks.
