I have more playing around to do with TPS values since they're a little wonky. It could be this engine uses its DBW throttle to go without an IAC, and keeps the throttle partway open at all times.

It would seem not to take much energy to spool the turbo at cruising speeds. It's a low-power turbo designed to provide power over a wide RPM range, not a high-RPM screamer. It definitely would help with VE since it's still forcing some air into the cylinders. Yeah, it's not actively providing more air. It's still providing more air than a NA engine would have at that RPM.
