I varied my rpms from time to time and once i looked down and it was over 100.... really hard to tell your going that fast!
Plus the gauge needle is really thick and the numbers are close together. o well.

Just because the car makes max boost at 3000rpm doesn't mean it's at max boost when you're at 3000rpm cruising. The turbo should not be spooled up because the throttle is almost completely closed, causing the wastegate to bypass the turbo.

It really isn't much more than a twitch away to me. You can cruise along at any speed, and push the pedal halfway and it takes off. You can hear the turbo almost instantly. VERy little if any lag.
