First off I think some might be confused what size your turbo really is as its not the aftermarket ones that are listed on Garrett's site. The gt45 family designation can give the impression of a turbo with larger wheels than what it actually has.
While its built on a gt45 frame its much closer to a GT4094 but with a smaller inducer on the comp wheel 62/94 instead of a 67/94 of a 4094 and the turbine wheels being basically the same @ 87/77. You compare this to a 38r and you can see it has actually a smaller inducer on the comp but a larger exducer. As its the inducer of the compressor wheel that controls actual incoming air flow rate "what takes the bite" you can compare that to other turbos that have a 62-63mm inducer as far as cfm or lb/min per revolution. As the wheel has the OD of a gt4294 comp wheel you can compare trims of the two The GT4594 63/94 comp wheel has a trim of 45 compared to the gt4294 70/94 trim of 56 so a rather sizable difference of air flow for wheels from the same family.
Minus the exact mass from the larger exducer it size in ratio to the inducer should help it spool fast and have the surge line moved way over so that it would never be an issue. So on the compressor side its not moving more air "per rev" than a 38r.
Where the GT4594 does have real benefit for a 7.3 is breathing on the exhaust side which should allow for a higher boost to drive pressure ratio. Its the same as that of the gt4094 @ 77/88 with a 78 trim. So it moves a good deal more air than the 38r @ 68/77 but a bit less than a gt4294 with its 82/90 turbine wheel. Also with the larger turbine T6 @ 1.33 housing added to this.
So to make the easiest comparison it's a gt4088 in compressor flow rate performance and a gt4094 in turbine wheel performance. IMO it actually makes a fairly nice single street turbo for the 7.3 from the specs and I think co04cobra agrees with this.
Below is all just my opinion and I have not personally run a compound setup to please keep that in mind:
The issue though is trying to use it as the atmosphere in a compound setup. Personally I do not see it working well. While it does have a larger turbine side than some of smaller single turbos its still not even as large as a gt42. IMO that being the smallest atmosphere I could ever see on a 7.3 and I personally would not choose something that small.
I do not see it as a good idea to use it as a compound turbo in either position IMO. Its setup to be a good single turbo. Fast spool up and bottom end boost is the goal of a HP turbo and while the comp wheel is not that bad the turbine is too large in ratio not to mention the huge housing. This would be the opposite of what would be ideal for fast spool up and boost building.
For the atmosphere turbo its just the opposite. You have a too small comp wheel and larger but still smaller than even a smallish atmosphere turbo turbine should have. The housing ratio is more inline though. Could it work as a HP turbo yes. Not ideal though. Could it work as a atmosphere turbo IMO its even worse of a choice.
IMO if you are going to go to all the trouble of piping, mounts, oil lines, waste gate for both stages its worth it to get the turbos properly sized. Best case for using it IMO would be to make it the HP turbo. Then pick up a pull off the equivalent to a GT47 from another OTR engines and use that. That would at least give you a more balanced setup. It would not add as much to the bottom end as a turbo with a proper smaller turbine setup but you would get a good boost from the middle to upper with it in use with the gt47 or something similar.
