The engine is in the right rpm range for full torque but there is still turbo lag. The turbo needs a good flow of exhausts to spin up. Once it does, there is plenty of power even in the highest gear. The question is what is going on with the efficiency during the lag-phase...

I'm the scientific type of guy so I'm looking for actual numbers and figures from real measurements. I'd love to do my own experiments but my lack of real-time instrumentation makes it difficult in this case.
