What I cant understand about boosting the turbo pressure is this:

How can installing an MBC and a gauge in the air inlet pipe between the turbo and the Inlet Manifold increase the pressure?To my mind, the pipe is already running at 100% because it doesnt have(or shouldnt have) any restrictions.

I dont understand how the control valve and gauge is going to improve on this.

Can anyone explain what I am missing??
