Lightbulb turbo question. correct me if im wrong.

if a turbo likes to spool at say 3,000 rpm and you have a converter at or higher than 3,000rpm does that mean instant spoolage once you pass that mark or do you still have wait for the exhaust pressure to build up?
also, a higher stall converter places the same amount of load on an engine as a lower one would right? as in, as soon as you hit your stall point your at 100% load but not before that.
am i right here guys or is this a bunch of hot air? ok bad pun

I've got 10 pounds set on my T63 and a 3400 Yank. When I hit it, the RPMs jump to 3400 and I have ten pounds NOW.
