Mine is on boost reliably in all gears from 2500rpm on. If I'm planning an aggressive move such as a pass in limited space, I'll down-shift to ensure I'm in the best operational range of 2500-3000rpm and gradually building rpm on slight throttle opening before engaging what I happily refer to as "full military boost". In my case this also ensure all my very long inter-cooler plumbing is "fully loaded", and saves the engine being goosed by a sudden "unexpected" throttle opening after which it takes a moment to think, seemingly, "do you really want to do this or are you just teasing me?" ;-) And this isn't turbo lag.
Following this, and the unspoken confirmation to "press on", the response is dramatic and I find most passes are over in mere seconds. Great for safety through limited exposure in the outside lane! Washing off the pace then becomes an issue, given the ridiculous attitudes to speed here.
During this stage one is often (and should be) spending more time evaluating traffic than monitoring gauges, as once initiated, there is grave risk of running over that which you intend to overtake if due care isn't taken, especially given an environment like Perth where some wally will pull out in front of you without warning, just as you commence your run.
There is nothing worse than spending moments setting up a run just right than to experience the frustrated anticipation brought on by a sudden change in conditions just as you come on-song.
It's a bit like firing a gun then trying to recall the bullet!
