Absolutely nothing. The motor didn't magically turn into a 70,000 rpm mod monster; never got more than a 20th of a second faster; never shot out of the corners like a scared cat. It just ran into its own designed-in limitations like a drunk guy walking into a hotel wall.
Boost/turbo only works in mod. So the guys thinking they'll get some sort of advantage in stock if they surreptitiously turned it in would gain absolutely squat, except a cooked motor or speedo.
You weren't using it properly then. Boost/turbo when used right will make a car significantly faster while making the motor run cooler.
