Curiosity question

Hey guys, I drove two Powerstrokes today at a dealership one a 99' and one an 03' both with 7.3's and 6-speeds. Now the only differance I noticed between the two was that the turbo on the 03' seemed to spool up faster, It seemed to get out of the hole faster than the 99' did. they both had about the same millage (about 120,000). So I was just curious do the berings go bad in the turbo, is it a differant design, or just my one mind playing tricks on me?

Different programming. The 99 is a 235 horse motor and the 03 is a 275 horse.
