Your turbo is a compressor that allows your engine to process more air.
By processing more air and by injecting more fuel you can increase power on each engine cycle.

So yes, you will have more power for the same engine at any levels.
As Just-local said, the power benefit will make the most difference at higher density altitudes.

You must obviously compare the same aircraft with the same engines otherwise there is little point to it.
