Unless you're somehow storing all of this boost pressure somewhere, you have to build boost each time you press the gas pedal. This is called Boost Threshold, or turbo lag. Modern technology has done wonders to minimize this, but it is still there. And yes, I've owned many turbocharged cars in my life so I know how great they are. I'm not going to say they have no disadvantages though, because they do.
