I'm not! I don't have the stock turbo any more.

This guy most definitely is though. We get a huge boost spike at torque peak, right around 3000rpm. Then boost falls off gradually as the engine's volumetric efficiency goes up along the rev range. Not much boost left by 5500 rpm, this is a tiny turbo we're talking about.

The low-end torque is mad though, launching in 2nd gear off a stoplight breaks traction at 2500rpm when the engine comes under boost..
