There's a company here in the States that will install a remote turbo where the muffler used to go, says the turbo does a fine job of muffling the noise. I'd say a muffler on a turbocharged engine is just there because they're in the habit of installing mufflers on cars. Just 'cause they always used to do it, they're always going to do it.
