The reason they do that is because a 3 inch pipe won't fit on the flange and they have to squeeze the pipe at the flange to get it to connect to the Turbo.
Still I can see your exhaust flowing more freely than the old 2.5 inch pipe..so I'd say ya..it is a factor.

Yes, it will cause a significant boost increase if the rest of your exhaust is free flowing.
Port your wastegate. It will help considerably, but may not totally correct the situation.
