Then I said that's why there's practically no lag because not long past idle it's making the max tq that its rated at. So inbetween those numbers (1500-5000rpm) would be a good guess as to when it should be in full boost.
Just because a car is at max torque doesn't mean its at max boost. If your engine hit max boost at 1500 rpm, the engine would do nothing past 4000rpm.
