No, that's not how it works. Turbo engines have a unique ability to significantly increase their power by increasing the boost and gas that's forced into the cylinders, as long as the turbo and injectors can support this. Simply mods like opening up the downpipe with a tune can make a huge difference. There's usually a good margin on these stock for various conditions and to keep the engine cool and a tune can bring out a significant amount of power, as in 10-25% more than stock, well over what you can get by doing a "tune" or race-gas in an NA engine. You generally have to go to pretty extreme lengths to do the same in a NA engine without FI, such as full exhaust headers+cams and tune, and even then sometimes it's not anywhere near the difference.
