Depending on how much boost a turbo is putting out, it could reach max boost anywhere, that is right. But also, with a smaller pulley and again depending on the amount of boost, a supercharger could also reach full boost at a higher/lower RPM than if you had it on a stock pulley. Some turbo's may not reach full boost until say 4K RPM, and a S/C might be at that same point, lower, higher....it could be anywhere...it just depends on how you have it set up. However, you could hit full throttle before you even move....? You can sit there and rev. your car until the s/c or turbo was in its maximum boost range and launch from there. Only thing is then traction and how much power your tranny can take becomes an issue. A turbo isn't necessarily better than a s/c, it just depends on what you want out of it. Then you have to start factoring in a lot of things. Are you gunna drag race it? Auto-X it? Are you looking for the most power with the least amount of $$? The list goes on. Hope this helps clear things up a bit...
