exactly, boost comes from the turbo pumping air against the backpressure of the motor, hook a turbo up to a pipe leading into thin air and it'll flow shitloads of air but make no boost. so with bigger cams and manifolds etc you'll flow the same amount of air on less boost with the same turbo aswell. the reason bigger turbos generally make more power is because of less restriction on the exhaust side and less effort from the bigger compressor to flow the same air, hence less heat, which means less pressure. also why heat makes such a big difference for turbo cars, we use boost as a control of airflow, so the amount of air flowing at that same boost level varies depending on the air temp.
