True, but getting more flow with less boost reduces backpressure (turbo doesn't work so hard) which can increase the knock threshold.
Besides, the whole purpose of a modified manifold is to reduce the boost pressure required for a given flow. Otherwise you would just crank the boost up way high on the stocker.
You read "The Scientific Design of Exhaust and Intake Systems" by Philip H. Smith? Old and no CFD, but a lot of interesting experiments.
