Not quite.

Lets say your turbo kit spools at 3500 RPM.

Lets go to 6000 RPM in 3rd gear. Now, lift, and let the RPMs start dropping. When you're at 5000 RPMs, stomp on the gas pedal. How long is that delay between when you stop on the gas, and when you actually have full boost? You're in that "goldilocks zone", but you *still* have to wait for the turbo to spin up. Your power is always there with a SC or NA car.
