That's not even remotely true.

Even the stock header with cat flows much better than the hot side of the turbo. A turbo is by far the biggest exhaust restriction most enthusiasts will run.

If a turbo flowed as well as a section of straight pipe, it wouldn't be able to build boost since the air would just be bypassing the turbine instead of spinning it.
