Is it that rubbish though?

As I'm sure you are aware:
A turbocharger needs power to spin the centrifugal compressor.
This power is derived from the kinetic energy of the exhaust gases.
The exhaust gases travel from the cylinder head to the compressor.

For a short statement in an article that provides a brief summary of the issue, then if their is some form of issue with getting the necessary gases to/from the compressor it makes sense.

But, if it gets you that worked up about the terms used, then I'm sure the publications would accept some freelance work submitted to give greater depth and clarity.
