Turbos have a compressor map for the pressure ratio and flow rates etc. There are different islands for the different operating ranges. The higher boost probably moved the operatig points to a region of higher efficiency on the map. I dont know a whole lot about this. We just covered it in an engineering course. Garretts website has 3 really good tutorials if your interested in the calculations/process of sizing a turbo.
