Edit: @ NESW20:

'Punching it' is a bit of an extreme example to put the difference between low rpm torque/boost and transient response into perspective. Some people have no idea about it, having only 'bench-driven' the BMW 335, or whatever. "But it makes peak torque at 1200 rpm!!!" Low rpm torque on a turbo is not the same thing as response.

I know you get it, and thankfully some more recent posters show that they do too. But a lot of people unfamiliar with driving a turbo car don't.
