Turbo's are load based, IE throttle based. You can be at 7000rpms but if you're only at 15% TPS you won't be boosting.

EDIT: and load, meaning how hard the gas pedal is pushed as well?

Like the others said, I too can go all the way to 9,000 RPM and not hit boost.

NOPE! Turbos are spooled by "load" not rpm 
. I've said this before but I'll say it again, with my tiny *** t25 turbo, I could go all the way redline without ever touching even a pound of boost, none!

But again, low RPM boost/quick spooling turbos would be bad for your DD's MPG
