If I'm not mistaken, the boost on the 3.0t can only be controlled via the throttle, which likely makes tuning a much harder task. It would be also very hard to install an Aero turbo without a lot of custom work, because on the 3.0 the exhaust housing is cast as a part of the exhaust manifold, and fitting a different turbocharger would not be an easy at all. I suspect upgrading to an Aero would've been cheaper.
That said, if all you want is to increase your power, look at the software offered by Nordic for 3.0t. It's rated at 240 hp and 280 ft-lbs. A rather healthy increase ;]
