>>How high do you need to rev to get full boost?
This is a *common* misconception about turbocharged
engines. Boost is not RPM dependent, as it is with
superchargers. Boost is mostly a function of engine
load. IE: You can be driving down the highway at
3000 RPM (for instance) with zero boost or even vacuum.
But pulling a heavy trailer up a steep hill at the
same, or even lower RPM, can yield full boost.
