engine/turbo theory question

[Todd Phenneger]

No,
  The turbo does hamper flow and cause a power loss.  It just
makes WAY more power than it loses.   If you could have no
restriction at all, you'd get even more power.  Hence the
development by Garret of that Hydraulicly driven turbo they want
to make.  No restriction at all makes for FAST spool up, and
instant full boost at low RPM.
