Yes...but all else is not equal here...this is why I also said that "that's the easy explanation" and "to a point".
We do not have an ETA quite yet, but all components are in movement!
You have to put in account for pressure, going too large, is bad yes, at stock pressure or boost. But a legitimate small increase in diameter of pipe allows for higher pressure, safely, which in turn equals more flow. On a stock setup, it won't be much in creating performance, maybe 5hp or around that (is my guess), but at higher boost pressure, stock piping will become a "pinch point" or "bottleneck" in the system, which can cause more strain and stress on parts and hinder the motor power output. Opening up the pipes just right gets rid of the bottleneck and the stress on parts, and can have a very effective increase in power. For example: A car makes 1000hp at the crank with the turbo charge piping being 3" in inside diameter. You increase the diameter to 3.5",( lets say this is maximum point of power, meaning any larger will have the same affect as 3.5" and may or may not hinder the system due to weight, and or too large to gain the correct boost / pressure level the system is needed). The 3.5" large pipe will increase power by a larger percentage than the previous 3" pipe. Figuratively speaking in suggestive numbers, the 3.5" pipe now has the car pushing 1100 hp at the crank, ( also figuratively, could be more could be less, but never less than 3" piping). If I remember correctly, this is how much of that math plays out and @PRL Motorsports will most definitely know this mechanical aspect too. I've recently gotten out of Mechanical Engineering with a side of aerodynamics btw
Why is a charge tube too large of a diameter a bad thing?You have to put in account for pressure, going too large, is bad yes, at stock pressure or boost.

Our charge piping kit will not require a tune, it's simply bolt on and go!
