I agree with the yes and no bits ! but the rules are the rules, so restricted it is, so large volumes of air at low revs is the order of the day, crammed into a low revving engine where VE is not at its best, is part of the reason external boost control is used, as the internal systems thus become a problem.

typical yb revs, 7-7.5k revs

theoretically very true Jimbo !
without trying to detour from the OP's thread, you can still force and engine to consume the air at differant paces - i.e differing rev ranges spec dependant, to the extreme where the internal gate cannot cope. e.g YB and T4 - im sure you know the score now pal !!
