Its the volume of air that's the difference. You can map an n/a car to make just as much drama though if you want. In fact I've done it as an experiment.
Does nothing useful and loads of harm to the engine. So not a good idea.

Well the fuel is in the compressed hot air leaving the engine, and as its gaseous at the time as its over its boiling point its therefore a gas and hence shares the compression, so yes you are technically correct.
Yes, but the turbo's not compressing it when it's leaving the engine (or if it is, it's only in the exhaust manifold, not through the length of the exhaust)! There is compression, but that's mainly due to heat expansion, and that's driving the vanes, not being driven by them.
It's the inlet side of the turbo that does the compressing. Hence forced induction.

More air forced in means more air comes out so for any given exhaust size it means more back pressure.
But its just sheer air/fuel volume making the difference. Pops and bangs map is only a tiny throttle angle so very little flow.

No. If I had, would I have skills too then?
Had no idea who the driver was, I just saw terrible hand positioning on the wheel (kind of important when you have a car that difficult to keep in a straight line) and one hand seemingly glued to the gear stick....which I've never understood myself.

No but it would give you some idea of the difficulty.
He's ok, but he's not CS trackday hero good...
