It really depends on the combo...some just need another 200 rpm before the thing will light off and build as much as you would want it to. Some can be so far off from spooling that a 50 shot of nitrous isnt going to help. I have been there and done that with a spool valve and do not reccomend it. Get the tune where it needs to be first, if it doesnt work good there try a smaller exhaust a/r or loosening the converter a tad. Things like wrapping the hotside, turbo blankets, and getting some heat in the turbo on a burnout can help alittle also.
Three step? please explain man. Heard but never played with.

I was going to do a update just as soon as i had the motor out. Got a new transmission, so mine will be for sale soon. Going with a different converter from Lenny @ Ultimate Converter Concepts. And the fuel system is going to be upgraded to handle anything i can throw at it along with a nasty nate fuel cell. O yea, also painting the car. Color is most likely going to be along the lines of a grabber blue, with a eggshell clear. Still black accents.

Got the motor pulled and in process of going with a different converter. But while i had some time i decided to do a little wiper metal delete mod to help clear up some much needed space in the engine bay. Not done yet, but after about 6 hours this is where i am at.
Probably wont be doing a perfect paint job on it or anything just because next year i am having Burkhart Chassis put in a full cage, so it would just need to be redone again.

I thought manual steering was going to be rough, but it's not bad at all. Like blackws666 said I have a spool and it wants to go straight as soon as you let go of the wheel at slow speeds with the wheel turned. Once the car is moving it drives really nicely.
