depends on the combo. Small twin turbo setup will spool quickly, especially on a street kit. On those you just leave like an all-motor car. On larger turbo cars, they need to spool up on the line, usually with a two-step, to get the boost up.

Not big turbos - T-67; but are twins. 408ci Iron block. Transbrake with 2-step set at 4000rpm's. Release T/B also releases 2-step. Best 60' so far is 1.30 (2-step set at 4000rpm's) with no more than 1lb of boost. Next will raise the 2-step up to 4500, once I get a rock solid rear-end. Should be able to leave on about 6lbs of boost, should be good for low 1.2 60's.
